About this ebook
Cycling Records explores the fascinating history of cycling's most impressive achievements, examining the blend of athletic ability, technological advancements, and strategic thinking that drives record-breaking performances. From the grueling stage races of the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, and Vuelta a España to the precise speed of time trials and the extreme distances of ultra-endurance cycling, the book delves into the quantifiable data and the stories behind these milestones. One intriguing aspect is how seemingly small changes in equipment or training can lead to significant improvements in performance, highlighting the constant evolution of the sport.
This book uniquely combines historical context with sports science, offering a data-driven perspective on cycling performance. It analyzes power outputs, speeds, and physiological metrics to understand what separates a good performance from a record-setting one.
The book is structured in three parts, beginning with the fundamentals of record-setting, then examining specific records in stage racing, time trials, and ultra-endurance cycling, and concluding with an analysis of trends and future possibilities. This comprehensive approach makes the book valuable for cycling enthusiasts, athletes, and anyone interested in sports history and the science of athletic prowess.
