Sprinting on Your Bike
 
 

Read an excerpt from Cycling Fast.

In most instances, sprinting occurs individually. If an athlete is fortunate enough to have an organized team, the team must be sure to practice lead-outs and sprints many times before executing them in races.
When sprinting, you should follow these tips:

  • Know your competition. Find out who commonly wins sprints, and fight for the draft of that wheel in the closing miles.
  • Line up your sprint position 3 to 5 miles (4.8 to 8.0 km) from the line. Many amateurs do not think about the sprint until the last mile. This practice will not get you to the line first.
  • Remember that position is important. Make sure you are near the front so a clear shot at the line is available, but not so far forward that you find yourself on the front too far from the line.
