Tuesday nights crits at Crystal Palace are a London institution. The season finale was held this week. London local and Factor racer, Jacob Vaughan, was in his element pushing the MONZA equipped with the new SRAM Force to the ragged edge on the roller coaster, no holds barred, crashtastic circuit. The Factor MONZA flourishing in its ideal use scenario: racing hard, riding home. Jacob sums it up: “Crystal Palace Crits is a community and pulls in people from different cultures and backgrounds to all come and enjoy what we all love, which is bike racing. My dad raced here back in the day, and my grandparents would watch, now I’m racing, and my parents will come to watch. The work the organisers do each year to keep these Crits going is amazing.”
