Aerodynamics has such a profound impact on cycling performance at the elite level that it
has infiltrated almost every aspect of the sport from riding position and styles, equipment …

The importance of aerodynamics in cycling is not a recent discovery. Already in the late
1800s it was recognized as a main source of resistance in cycling. This knowledge was only …

A cycling peloton is the main group of cyclists riding closely together to reduce aerodynamic
drag and energy expenditure. Previous studies on small groups of in-line drafting cyclists …

The last decades have seen an increasing interest in cycling aerodynamics, with the design
of more aerodynamic bicycles and wearable equipment such as helmets and skinsuits and …

Different professional cyclists use very different hill descent positions, which indicates that
prior to the present study, there was no consensus on which position is really superior, and …

In a team time trial (TTT), the main strategy is based on drafting, where team members
alternately take the lead while others ride behind the leading cyclist. TTTs can contain up to …

In recent years, many accidents have occurred between cyclists and in-race motorcycles,
even yielding fatal injuries. The accidents and the potential aerodynamics issues have …

Spoked wheels are commonly used in cycling races and their aerodynamic performance is a
critical factor in the overall cycling performance, as the wheels can be responsible for about …

Abstract Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) allows researchers and practitioners to
analyze cyclist aerodynamics and identify areas for improvement. Despite the numerous …

A few riders have adopted a rather exceptional and more aerodynamic sprint position where
the torso is held low and nearly horizontal and close to the handle bar to reduce the frontal …
