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.

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.

  • Modeling Sprint Cycling Using Field-Derived Parameters and Forward Integration
    Modeling Sprint Cycling Using Field-Derived Parameters and Forward Integration JAMES C. MARTIN1, A. SCOTT GARDNER2,3, MARTIN BARRAS2, and DAVID T. MARTIN2 1The University of Utah, Department of Exercise and Sport Science, Salt Lake City, UT; 2Australian Institute of Sport, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, AUSTRALIA; and 3Queensland Academy of Sport, Brisbane, Queensland, AUSTRALIA ABSTRACT MARTIN, J. C., A. S. GARDNER, M. BARRAS, and D. T. MARTIN. Modeling Sprint Cycling Using Field-Derived Parameters and Forward Integration. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc.,Vol. 38, No. 3, pp. 592–597, 2006. We previously reported that a mathematical model could accurately predict steady-state road-cycling power when all the model parameters were known. Application of that model to competitive cycling has been limited by the need to obtain accurate parameter values, the non–steady-state nature of many cycling events, and because the validity of the model at maximal power has not been established. Purpose: We determined whether modeling parameters could be accurately determined during field trials and whether the model could accurately predict cycling speed during maximal acceleration using forward integration. Methods: First, we quantified aerodynamic drag area of six cyclists using both wind tunnel and field trials allowing for these two techniques to be compared. Next, we determined the aerodynamic drag area of three world-class sprint cyclists using the field-test protocol. Track cyclists also performed maximal standing-start time trials, during which we recorded power and speed. Finally, we used forward integration to predict cycling speed from power–time data recorded during the maximal trials allowing us to compare predicted speed with measured speed.

  • Using Field Based Data to Model Sprint Track Cycling Performance Hamish A
    Ferguson et al. Sports Medicine - Open (2021) 7:20 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40798-021-00310-0 REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access Using Field Based Data to Model Sprint Track Cycling Performance Hamish A. Ferguson1* , Chris Harnish2 and J. Geoffrey Chase1 Abstract Cycling performance models are used to study rider and sport characteristics to better understand performance determinants and optimise competition outcomes. Performance requirements cover the demands of competition a cyclist may encounter, whilst rider attributes are physical, technical and psychological characteristics contributing to performance. Several current models of endurance-cycling enhance understanding of performance in road cycling and track endurance, relying on a supply and demand perspective. However, they have yet to be developed for sprint-cycling, with current athlete preparation, instead relying on measures of peak-power, speed and strength to assess performance and guide training. Peak-power models do not adequately explain the demands of actual competition in events over 15-60 s, let alone, in World-Championship sprint cycling events comprising several rounds to medal finals. Whilst there are no descriptive studies of track-sprint cycling events, we present data from physiological interventions using track cycling and repeated sprint exercise research in multiple sports, to elucidate the demands of performance requiring several maximal sprints over a competition. This review will show physiological and power meter data, illustrating the role of all energy pathways in sprint performance. This understanding highlights the need to focus on the capacity required for a given race and over an event, and therefore the recovery needed for each subsequent race, within and between races, and how optimal pacing can be used to enhance performance.

  • 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.

    PERFORMANCE CYCLING CONDITIONING A NEWSLETTER DEDICATED TO IMPROVING CYCLISTS www.performancecondition.com/cycling Periodization of Sprint Cycling with Considerations for Endurance Cyclists Clay Worthington, USA Cycling Assistant Coach Sprint Track, Colorado Springs, CO Clay spent two years as a scholarship coaching intern, an additional 6 months as assistant coach of sprint track for USAC, and is in his first season as Head Coach of Sprint Track. His responsibilities include implementation of training plans for sprint track at training sessions and perform necessary testing as required. He has also coached at multiple camps/trips (e.g., track en- durance, track sprint, road endurance, Southern and Palo Saeco Games-Trinidad). He is a USAC Level 1 Coach and a Cat 3 road and track licensed cyclist. He has a Masters of Science degree in kinesiology at Midwestern State University. BGN INT n cycling, the age-old question is quality versus quantity (i.e. intensity v. volume). If you look at the power numbers XTP there’s a wide degree for variance in power output. With women, the greatest power output for world-class athletes is be- MSR I tween 1300 and 1500 watts. With men, they are able to produce in the neighborhood of 2300 to 2500 watts (Figure 1). MTB Sprint athletes will try to produce these numbers on a regular basis—they try to practice at this maximum intensity. They do this from starts or as part of accelerations. With endurance athletes, if you put them on a bike at the end of a race the best any of them could produce would be anywhere from 1600 to 1700 watts.

  • 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.
