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.
