Rio Olympics: Slipping to the Back

The Dutch team took to the polished wood of the Rio Velodrome to show their stuff in the qualifying rides today.  The team of four will take turns pushing the pace on the front of the quartet and then use the high banks to swing off the front and slot back onto the back.  Once on the back they can catch a breather until it is their turn on the front again.

Rio Olympics: With Precision

One of the most famous road cyclists to ever make the switch back to the rack is Sir Bradley Wiggins (Great Britain).  Here he is in a tight well drilled Team GB on the velodrome in Rio.  Wiggins is the third in line at this moment coming off of the bank in their qualifying ride of the Team Pursuit.
