Sammi Runnels shares her thoughts on the new qualifying format: Heats "The new qualifying system is going to be a lot safer. Since it is now a race instead of a mass start individual time trial, everyone on course should be going around the same intensity at the same time.

Sammi Runnels shares her thoughts on the new qualifying format: Heats "The new qualifying system is going to be a lot safer. Since it is now a race instead of a mass start individual time trial, everyone on course should be going around the same intensity at the same time. A lot of the problems with the previous qualifying system stemmed from half of the riders taking hot laps and half of the riders resting at any given time." Super Pole "My strategy would be to use the Super Pole mainly as a warm up. Having to essentially do 3 different events is going to be very tiring. I’ll want to use the bulk of my energy in the final race." ph: @tornanti_cc
