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.

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.

    Abstract There are thousands of young drivers racing go karts and in the lower formulas, all hoping to make careers as professional racers. At the other end of the spectrum, there are 22 drivers on the Formula One grid each year, and only one of them can become world champion. Clearly, the odds are stacked against anyone becoming a professional driver in F1 or any of the other major racing series: IndyCar, NASCAR, DTM, etc. Learning the skills needed to compete at such a high level requires years of practice and the investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars. And even after all that, nothing is guaranteed. This paper explores that difficult path to the top, both the traditional route from karting through the various formulas, and a new option: simulator-based training and racing, which is quickly proving to be a viable—if still rare—route for young drivers. Advanced simulator technology is making racing more accessible, but even with the new technology, drivers still need support to make the most of it. Virtual Racing School (VRS) was created to provide that support to the next generation of motorsport champions. From analyzing and interpreting telemetry to tracking performance and trends to developing personalized training plans, VRS is being developed to assist drivers from the moment they take their first laps on a simulator all the way through a successful on-track racing career. It is a long, difficult and expensive road… While the technology of racing cars has advanced significantly over the past few decades, the methods for identifying driver talent have not.

  • 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.

  • Collective Behavior and the Identification of Phases in Bicycle Pelotons
    Collective behavior and the identification of phases in bicycle pelotons Hugh Trenchard1, Ashlin Richardson2, Erick Ratamero3, Matjaz Perc4 1Corresponding author, no affiliation [email protected] 805 647 Michigan Street 2University of Victoria, Victoria BC Canada V8V 1S9 Department of Computer Science 1 250 472 0718 PO Box 1700, STN CSC [email protected] Victoria BC Canada V8W 2Y2 1 250 472 5797 [email protected] 3University of Warwick MOAC DTC - Senate House 4 Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics Gibbet Hill Road CV4 7AL Coventry, UK University of Maribor, Slovenia +44 2476151353 [email protected] Abstract: As an aggregate of cyclists, a peloton exhibits collective behavior similar to flocking birds or schooling fish. Positional analysis of cyclists in mass-start velodrome (track) races allows quantitative descriptions of peloton phases based on observational data. Data from two track races are analyzed. Peloton density correlates well with cyclists’ collective power output in two clear phases, one of low density, and one of high density. The low density “stretched” phase generally indicates low frequency positional-change and single-file synchronization. The high density “compact” phase may be further divided into two phases, one of which is a laterally (side-by-side) synchronized phase, and another is a high frequency and magnitude positional-change phase. Phases may be sub-divided further into acceleration and deceleration regimes, but these are not quantified here. A basic model of peloton division and its implications for general flocking behavior are discussed. Keywords: peloton, cyclists, collective behavior, flocking, phases 1.1 Introduction A peloton may be defined as a group of cyclists that are coupled together through the mutual energy benefits of drafting, whereby cyclists follow others in zones of reduced air resistance.

  • 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.
