    Chapter 3 | Road Racing 3. ROAD RACING 3A. Road Course 3A1. A road course may be from place to place, around a circuit, out and back, or any combination of these. The course shall not cross itself; there must be no chance that riders may have to cut through other groups of riders. 3A2. Multiple Fields. Race Directors are responsible for the planning and coordination of races to generally avoid overlapping of groups on the same course. If more than one massed start race is to be on the course simultaneously, starting intervals should be chosen such that groups will not overlap. If these conditions are not met, the Chief Referee may change the schedule or cancel some or all of the events. 3A3. Markers. In all road events, at a minimum a conspicuous marker shall denote the final kilometer. A panel shall indicate the final 200 meters from the finish. Panels including the following distances from the finish line: 500 m, 300 m, 150 m, 100 m, and 50 m are recom- mended. Panels indicating the last 25, 20, 10, 5, 4, 3 and 2 km are recommended for all road races. In races ending on a circuit, only the last 3, 2 and 1 km are to be displayed. 3A4. The finishing area should be at least eight meters wide and be adequately protected so as to prevent spectators from entering onto the course. The last 200 meters should be free of turns and curves. 3A5. The finish line shall be perpendicular to the racecourse. For any championship event it shall be a black line of uniform width between 4 and 6 cm painted in the middle of a 72 cm wide white stripe.

  • CU Cycling New Rider Handbook
    CU Cycling New Rider Handbook Cycling at the University of Colorado Boulder has a long history of success. Since 1988, the year of the first Collegiate National Championships, University of Colorado Boulder has produced over 65 individual National Champions and taken home 12 Team Event National titles (Road Team Time Trial and Track Team Pursuit). Additionally, we have won the Overall Team Omnium at 12 National Championships. Many University of Colorado Boulder racers have gone on to the professional ranks after graduation and achieved success at the highest level of the sport. While competition-level at the National Championships is between the elite racers on the team, conference competition is all about team participation with riders at every level contributing to the team's success. The University of Colorado Boulder is a powerhouse in the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Cycling Conference, consistently battling cross-state rival Fort Lewis College for top honors. While performance and results are important, the team actively encourages each member to reach their potential and to be their best in the University of Colorado Boulder's extraordinary range of challenging academic and extra-curricular opportunities.

  • How Well Do You Know the 2019 UCI Points Rankings?
    The Outer Line The External Perspective On Pro Cycling How Wellhttps://www.theouterline.com Do You Know the 2019 UCI Points Rankings? The men’s WorldTour bike racing season is almost over, and so it’s time to take a look at the formal grading system which most fans routinely ignore all the rest of the year: the UCI points ranking. But first, a quick pop quiz for all those who consider themselves to be avid followers or students of pro cycling (answers below): Can you name the only WorldTour team with two riders in the top-10 of the men’s UCI rider points ranking? No surprise that rising superstars Primož Rogli? and Julian Alaphilippe rank number 1 and 2. But, who do you think ranks third amongst the top riders – right in front of Tour de France phenom Egan Bernal, crafty veteran Alejandro Valverde (himself a multiple times winner of the points ranking) and veteran hard man Greg van Avermaet? Where do you think Team Ineos, the team with the largest budget, and a roster so stacked with talent that many thought they were threatening to “ruin” the sport, ranks in the final UCI team standings? And in the nations points ranking, what country do you think sits in 26th spot, just behind Eritrea, a small country in the horn of Africa with a population of under five million? If you score two or higher, consider yourself an insightful and expert pro cycling fan. OK, here are the answers. The German team Bora-Hansgrohe – not a team which got a lot of ink in the cycling media this year – had both Pascal Ackerman and Peter Sagan in the top-10, ranked 7th and 10th respectively.

  • Dimeo and Henning Final.Pdf
    This is an Accepted Manuscript of a chapter published by Taylor & Francis Group in Fincoeur B, Gleaves J & Ohl F (eds.) Doping in Cycling: Interdisciplinary Perspectives. Ethics and Sport. Doping in Cycling: Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Routledge, pp. 177-188. https://www.routledge.com/Doping-in-Cycling-Interdisciplinary-Perspectives-1st- Edition/Fincoeur-Gleaves-Ohl/p/book/9781138477902 The Decline of Trust in British Sport since the London Olympics: Team Sky’s Fall from Grace Paul Dimeo and April Henning Abstract The success of Team Sky has been over-shadowed by a range of allegations and controversies, leaving significant doubts around their much-vaunted pro anti-doping stance. This chapter aims to contextualise these doubts within the wider frame of British sport, and more specifically the decline of trust. We trace the emergence of Team Sky from the National Lottery funded track team, arguing that the London Olympics was a pinnacle of medal-winning and public admiration. The turn towards professional road cycling was accompanied by new approaches to medicalisation. The Fancy Bears hack of WADA’s database, whistle-blower insights, Government inquiries, and media scrutiny have presented the public with sufficient evidence and critique to undermine the reputation of Team Sky’s management and riders. Other factors have contributed to the decline of trust, not least evidence of doping from the Russia investigations, the leaked IAAF blood files, the role of the IAAF senior managers, the conflict between WADA and the IOC over banning Russian athletes, and other related debates. We argue that the high-profile debate over the use of drugs in British professional cycling can be understood as symptomatic of a wider malaise affecting British sport, which in turn can be contextualised, explained, and seen as part of a broader shift in scepticism regarding political leaders and media organisations.

  • Calling Time out on the Team Time Trial
    The Outer Line A Roadmap to Repair Pro Cycling Callinghttp://www.theouterline.com Time Out On the Team Time Trial Cycling's association of teams, the Association International des Groupes Cyclistes Professionels (AIGCP), recently issued a strong rebuke to the sport’s ruling body – the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). Generally fed up with the pace of reforms and with the economic pressures they face in trying to field teams for all of the WorldTour’s far-flung races, the teams voted to boycott the upcoming UCI World Team Time Trial (TTT) Championship in Doha. This potential walkout highlights the teams’ growing discontent with the UCI – specifically the expansion of the WorldTour calendar in future years – and the frustration of not having enough input in how they run their own businesses. The key contention pointed out in the August 10, 2016 AIGCP press release announcing the boycott is that the teams will themselves have to continue to shoulder the costs of participating in what is ostensibly a UCI World Championship event. Whereas national teams receive support from their home federations to transport their riders, equipment, and entourages to compete in the World Championship road events, the TTT event is comprised of the top commercial or “trade” teams – not national teams. But even though national teams do not compete, the TTT has become one of the showcase races of the UCI's annual flagship event. It wasn't always this way; long-time fans of cycling may recall that the TTT used to be one of the pinnacles of elite amateur cycling.

  • 1 Road Race ROAD RACES the First Road Event in Olympic History Took Place in 1896 at the First Games of the Modern Era in Athens
    UCI CYCLING REGULATIONS ROAD RACES The first road event in Olympic history took place in 1896 at the first Games of the modern era in Athens. Olympic cycling was added to the women’s programme in Los Angeles in 1984, with an individual road event. Later, in 1996, the individual time trial was included in women’s Olympic cycling. 1. INDIVIDUAL TIME TRIALS Distances The distances shall be the following: Maximum distance Category World championships and Men Elite 40 -50 km Under 23 30-40 km Junior 20-30 km Women Elite 20-30 km Junior 10-15 km Course The course shall be safe and perfectly signposted.From the start of the race, the circuit may be used only by the riders in the race and the vehicles following such riders. The distances remaining to be ridden shall be indicated clearly every 5 km at least. For uphill races, each kilometer shall be indicated.(N) The organiser shall provide a warm-up circuit of at least 800 metresin the vicinity of the start. Starting order The starting order shall be determined by the organiser of the event in accordance with objective criteria that are to be resumed in the programme - technical guide of the race.Riders shall set off at identical intervals. Nevertheless this interval may be increased between riders starting last. The starting order of time trial stages during stage races shall be governed by article 2.6.023.

  • Rule the Tour De France Top Seven Tips
    Rule the Tour de France! Top seven tips for teaching authentic and exciting Tour de France stages in your indoor cycling classes! Check out the Tour de France website at www.letour.com to discover the profiles for each stage of the Tour de France. (You can change the language at the top right). Click on Route to get a dropdown of the various stages. 1. Understanding the route of the Tour de France Did you know the Tour de France route changes every single year? One year it travels in a more clockwise direction with the Alps preceding the Pyrénées, and the next year counterclockwise, with the Pyrénées before the Alps. One thing is for certain; it finishes in Paris every year! The Tour organizers will often try to create a route that presents particular challenges to the yellow jersey winner of the previous year. This is one way they try to keep it very interesting from year to year. Some things of note about this year’s route are: • There are more mountaintop finishes than usual (5 out of 6 big mountain stages). • This year there is only one time trial on the penultimate day, which is very different from past tours. • There is no Team Time Trial this year. They seem to change their minds every year about this. Apparently the TTT gives advantage to certain teams. For cycling fans it’s a bummer because they are more exciting to watch. (Note: in the ICA TDF package bundles, we teach you how to teach Team Time Trials because they are so much fun to do, and they are quite intense! Check out both 2013 and 2011 packages.) • There is less focus on the Alpes the year, with several very challenging climbs in the Vosges Mountains near the German border.
