    Cycling Track Men's Omnium Flying Lap 250m Time Trial - Great Britain New Zealand Australia Full Replay from the Velodrome at the London 2012 Olympic Games. -- 4 August 2012
    1 - Edward Clancy (GBR)
    2 - Shane Archibold (NZL)
    3 - Glenn O'Shea
    Cycling is among the rare sports that have always featured on the Olympic programme. Road cycling, however, was not on the programme of the Paris 1900, St Louis 1904 or London 1908 Games, while track cycling wasn't in the programme of the Stockholm 1912 Games.
    The first road event in Olympic history took place in 1896 on the marathon route at the first Games of the modern era in Athens. The race started in Athens, headed towards Marathon, then returned to Athens, at the Phaliron velodrome.
    Olympic cycling was added to the women's programme in Los Angeles in 1984, with an individual road event.

    What is crazy is that these omnium guys are almost as fast as the pure sprinters with thighs as big as tractor tires.

      No they’re not… Not even close!
      I can beat these guys over 200m by 2 seconds and I’m a 47 year amateur track cyclist…

      10.0 as in a 10.0 flying 200.

    you are correct in this respect, but remember its the time between once you reached max speed and the time when you've completed your laps as the rider is given a lap to reach max speed (which is why it's called a flying lap). so i suppose it would mean using more energy to initially accelerate the bike but once you get to your target speed and cadence, then you could use less energy to overcome drag as you have more inertia.

    Question. Because I don't know the answer. On modern sprint bikes, the handlebars place the racer's hands well above the height of the top of the front wheel.
    Back in the 1970's, when I was a track sprinter, well, more of a kilo and omnium rider, the sprint bars put my hands down low, right about the level of the front wheel. It was a good position, because it gave me good leverage to pull hard on the handlebars, and a low aero position as well.
    I can't fault the newer position too much, however. The times are faster than I ever posted. Of course, I was riding a steel framed bike that weighed 16 pounds. And I presume a smaller gear. Also, there is a different technique to use on a 250m track, and a 333m track. A 333m track will produce a faster time, if the start line is approached optimally. I didn't see any of these rider use the same method as I did. I would sprint up to the fastest speed I could muster on the top of the banking, then at the last minute, dive hard down the track to enter the sprinter's lane maybe ten meters before the line. That makes it seem like the banking is shooting you out of a cannon! Then it's balls to the wall to the line, and hope you don't hit a sponge! A 250m doesn't offer the same advantage. When you dive down the banking to get up to max speed, you still have to go halfway down the straightaway before you hit the start line.
    The winner's time here would have been a decent 200m match sprint time when I was racing. I think my fastest was like a 13.3 or something like that. A very good effort by the winner.

    • @canobenitez
      @canobenitez 7 років тому +3

      30 years ago the handles were below the front wheel, giving a low aeroposition and good leverage, nowadays it is not, even in criteriums. why?

  • @TheRohBoat

    you are completely correct. if it would help an athlete win, athletes would probably be using heavy wheels.

  • @TheRohBoat
    @TheRohBoat 11 років тому

    yeah, but he said flying start. if the inertia and moment of the wheel is great enough to overcome rolling resistance the friction in the bearings, newtons first law applies: inertia

  • @Alexbc1910
    @Alexbc1910 11 років тому

    Newton's Laws:
    The acceleration of a body is directly proportional to, and in the same direction as, the net force acting on the body, and inversely proportional to its mass. Thus, F = ma, where F is the net force acting on the object, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration of the object.
    making heavy wheels would require more strength to get the same acceleration, in other words, they would have less acceleration, since they're alrready applying their max strength.

  • @Alexbc1910
    @Alexbc1910 11 років тому +1

    Ye I see your point, but I still think light wheels are an advantage as there are thousands of engeneers out there working and making researches in order to make faster bikes. If heavy wheels were a good idea, they would have already thought about that.

    For a flying start sprint heavy wheels would be of an advantage. I challenge a wheel manufacturer to make a 10pound rear and 5 pound front for these guys to test for the flying sprints. I'm pretty sure the results would be shocking.

    • @rich.trails
      @rich.trails 5 років тому

      Not a chance. You have to get the bike/wheels up to speed. Lighter is always better than heavier unless you are doing a coast down test or long downhill.

      You ain't right fam. Inertia is an intrinsic property of a massive object, irrelevant of relative velocity. Momentum is dependent on relative velocity.

    • @TheEulerID
      @TheEulerID Рік тому

      @@arthurlewis9193 No inertia and momentum are not the same thing. Momentum is a vector which is the produce of velocity (a vector) and mass (a scalar). Inertia doesn't have any units or quantity, it's a principle. That is the tendency for something with mass to continue on an inertial path unless an external force acts upon in. In Euclidean space, this is a straight line, whilst in Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, it's something called a geodesic (basically the equivalent of a straight line in curved space-time).
      Of course, this is strict physics definitions; common usage is another matter.
