For example, a 6x5 points race will have 6 sprints every 5 laps. A bell rings with one lap to go before each sprint. Points are awarded to the top 4 riders across the line for each sprint (5,3,2,1), the last sprint has double points (10,6,4,2). Riders are awarded 20 points if they lap the field or have 20 points subtracted if they lose a lap to the main field. The rider with the most points at the end of the race wins. Ties are broken by the finish sprint. Snowball - A Snowball is a mass start race run over a set distance. The first rider across the line at the end of the first lap earns one point. The first rider across the line at the end of the second lap earns 2 points, etc., with the number of points for the first rider across the line for each lap “snowballing” until the end of the race. The rider with the most points at the end of the race wins. Ties are broken by the finish sprint. Scratch Race - The basic track race. All riders race for a set number of laps. A bell rings with one lap to go. The first rider across the line wins. Point-a-Lap - The first racer across the line every lap receives one point. You receive 4 points for lapping the field and lose 20 points for going down a lap. The racer with the most points at the end of a set number of laps wins. Unknown Distance - The officials will roll dice to determine the number of laps raced. The racers will not know the length of the race. The lapboard will count up, with a bell ringing on the final lap. Placement will be the same as a scratch race. Elimination - Neutral lap, 3 laps, then pulling a rider every other lap. Down to the final three riders. They will see two to go and sprint for final placement. page 13 race descriptions cont'd.. Super Sprint - The Super Sprint begins as an Elimination Race, neutral lap, 3 laps, then pulling the last rider across the finish line every lap until five riders remain. The remaining five riders then see 3 laps on the board and finish as a scratch race. UCI Style Tempo - The first rider across the line every lap earns 2 points, the second rider earns 1 point. A rider earns 20 points for taking a lap on the field and loses 20 points for going down a lap. The rider with the most points at the end of the race wins.

    Introduction to Track Cycling What to Expect and How to Upgrade Photo: Snowy Mountain Photography Track cycling history ¨ Track racing dates back to the late 1800s and 6-day racing events Velodrome basics ¨ Velodromes can range from less than 200 meters to over 500 meters in length ¨ Wood, concrete, and asphalt 2012 London Olympic Velodrome are common surface materials ¨ Current Olympic velodrome standard is a wood indoor 250 meter velodrome with banking of around 45 degrees ¨ Ed Rudolph Velodrome (aka Northbrook) is a 382 meter asphalt velodrome with banking of around 20 degrees Ed Rudolph Velodrome What are the colored lines on the track? ¨ The ”blue band” or “cote d’azur” marks the track’s inside boundary. Racers may not ride on or below this band. The area below the blue band extending to the grass is called the “apron.” ¨ The black “measurement line” is used to measure the distance around the track. When doing pursuits or time trials, use this line as a guide. ¨ The red “sprinter’s line” defines the border of the sprint lane. The leading rider in this lane is said to “own the lane” and may only be passed by a rider going over on the right. NO PASSING BELOW RIDERS IN THE SPRINTERS LANE. Additionally once a sprint is engaged, a racer who is leading and in the sprinter’s lane can not leave it. ¨ The uppermost blue line is the “stayer’s line” or the relief line. It marks the boundary between faster and slower traffic, with the faster riders below the line and the slower “relief” riders above the line.

  • International OMNIUM
    International OMNIUM MEN 1) Flying Lap (against the clock) The International Omnium event 2) 30 km Points Race (15 km for junior men) is a multi-race event for individuals in track 3) Elimination cycling. Historically the omnium has had a 4) 4 km Individual Pursuit (3 km for junior men) variety of formats. Currently, and for the 2012 5) Scratch Race London Olympic Games, the omnium as defined 6) 1km Time trial by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and consists of six events (both timed individual *Timed events are conducted individually while events and massed start pack races) for men the rest are pack style races. and for women that are conducted over two consecutive days. Ideally, the Omnium event showcases the best all-round, consistent rider -- speed, endurance and savvy race intelligence make up an International Omnium champion. Points are awarded in reverse order for each event within the omnium. The rider who finishes first in an event receives one point, the second rider will gets two points and so on down the placings. The winner is the rider with the lowest total points. If two riders are tied on points, the combined time of the three time trials will be the tie breaker to determine final placing. Also, riders must complete every event in the omnium. So if WOMEN a rider were to crash in an early segment and not 1) Flying Lap (against the clock) make it to the finish, they would be eliminated 2) 20 km Points Race (10 km for junior women) from continuing on in the next portion.

Programme Design and Monitoring . 465 5. Conclusion . 466 Abstract Track cycling events range from a 200m flying sprint (lasting 10 to 11 seconds) to the 50km points race (lasting ≈1 hour). Unlike road cycling competitions where most racing is undertaken at submaximal power outputs, the shorter track events require the cyclist to tax maximally both the aerobic and anaerobic (oxygen independent) metabolic pathways. Elite track cyclists possess key physical and physiological attributes which are matched to the specific requirements of their events: these cyclists must have the appropriate genetic predisposition which is then maximised through effective training interventions. With advances in tech- nology it is now possible to accurately measure both power supply and demand variables under competitive conditions.

  • Olympic Sprint, Or Team Sprint
    Spectators Summary of Track Cycling Events: (See the USCF rule book or http://www.usacycling.org/ for all the details.) Mass Start or "Scratch" Race: Not surprisingly, all the riders in a Mass Start race start at the same time. The riders all cover the same distance, with the winner being the first rider to cross the finish line at the end of that distance. Although speed is important, tactics and teamwork are equally vital. Groups of riders often take an early lead, and then work together to increase it while their teammates try to block and slow down the "field." On a small track, the leaders may gain an entire lap on the other riders and then join in with the main group again. Points Race: A variation of the Mass Start race, points are awarded to the top placing riders in a series of sprints contested at various intervals during the race. The winner of a Points Race is not necessarily the first to cross the finish line, but rather the rider who has accumulated the most points during the race. Win-And-Out: A variation on the Scratch race where 1st place is decided on the final lap, however, only the winner is finished. In order to secure 2nd place that rider must be first across the line on the next lap. 3rd place is decided on the lap after that. Typically all other places are also decided by this third and final sprint. This makes for interesting tactics. It can be a very hard race if a rider tries gives their all to win only to be forced to continue and try again the next lap.

  • Modelling the Third Version of the Cycling Omnium
    MODELLING THE THIRD VERSION OF THE CYCLING OMNIUM Loic Devoir a, Bahadorreza Ofoghi b, Dan Dwyer c, Clare MacMahon d, and John Zeleznikow a,e,f a Institute of Sport, Exercise, and Active Living, Victoria University, Australia b Department of Computing and Information Systems, The University of Melbourne, Australia c Deakin University, Australia d Swinburne University, Australia e College of Business, Victoria University, Australia f Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This paper reports our recent findings on the analysis of riders’ performance patterns in the new (third version) Track Cycling Omnium. We have made use of statistical and machine learning techniques to analyse data in recent omnium competitions and compared the results with our previous findings on the older version of the omnium to understand how and whether the new omnium requires different skill sets and strategic planning for elite riders and their coaches. The results of our analysis shows that for both male and female riders, sprint abilities are more important than endurance abilities in the current omnium, contrary to the previous omnium where endurance abilities were slightly more prominent in female medal winners. In addition, the Flying Time Trial race remains the most important race for men while Individual Pursuit has become more important for female riders. Keywords : Track cycling omnium, rule changes, performance analysis 1. INTRODUCTION This work focuses upon track cycling omnium coaches as decision makers who identify talent and conduct strategic performance planning for cyclists that compete in the multi-event track cycling omnium. Such advice is given to coaches/riders before and during the omnium events.

  • Understanding Sprint-Cycling Performance: the Integration of Muscle Power, Resistance, and Modeling
    BRIEF REVIEW International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2007;2:5-21 © 2007 Human Kinetics, Inc. Understanding Sprint-Cycling Performance: The Integration of Muscle Power, Resistance, and Modeling James C. Martin, Christopher J. Davidson, and Eric R. Pardyjak Sprint-cycling performance is paramount to competitive success in over half the world-championship and Olympic races in the sport of cycling. This review examines the current knowledge behind the interaction of propulsive and resistive forces that determine sprint performance. Because of recent innovation in fi eld power-measuring devices, actual data from both elite track- and road-cycling sprint performances provide additional insight into key performance determinants and allow for the construction of complex models of sprint-cycling performance suitable for forward integration. Modeling of various strategic scenarios using a variety of fi eld and laboratory data can highlight the relative value for certain tactically driven choices during competition. Key Words: exercise performance, physical performance, sport, sport physiology, biomechanics, anaerobic Of the 28 world-championship races governed by the Union Cycliste Interna- tionale (UCI), 8 are all-out sprint events (menʼs and womenʼs sprint, 500/1000-m time trial, Keirin, and BMX), 4 are often decided in the fi nishing sprint (menʼs and womenʼs road race and scratch race), and 2 require repeated sprints (menʼs and womenʼs points race). Thus, sprint performance is a major determinant of most world-championship racing events. Ultimately, sprint performance represents equi- librium of propulsive power and resistance. In this article, we will review factors that infl uence maximal cycling power and cycling resistance and the limited inves- tigations exploring sprint-bicycling performance.
