How to excel in track cycling with Björka

How does track cycling mark modern sport?

Track cycling has fascinated and captivated generations. Its technical richness and multiple events create an exciting spectacle that captivates both participants and their audience. Let's discover together what makes it unique:

A remarkable Olympic legacy

Track cycling has been a staple of the Olympic Games since their revival in 1896. This historic discipline continues to attract attention and inspire new generations of passionate athletes who dream of medals.

A school of excellence for all

Between fast races, timed challenges, and endurance events, track cyclists develop a variety of skills. This versatility enriches their technical mastery and also improves their performance in road races.

The specificities of track cycling

To thrive in this exceptional sport, it is crucial to master its fundamental aspects.

The velodrome: the essence of this sport

A velodrome is characterized by its curved ring with steep slopes. This unique configuration allows athletes to achieve spectacular peaks. Success in this environment requires perfect reading of lines and constant adaptation to the movements of other riders.

A unique machine

Track bikes are distinguished by their simplicity: no brakes and a single fixed gear. This technical simplicity promotes lightness and aerodynamic efficiency. Riders thus develop a close connection with their bike, which they control solely through the movement of their legs.

The emblematic disciplines

• The individual sprint : an intense duel over 200m where tactics and power intertwine.
• Individual pursuit : a sustained effort where two athletes compete over several laps.
• The keirin : coming from Japan, this collective event begins behind a motorbike before an explosive finale.
