	Sprint (cycling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The sprint is a track cycling event involving a one-on-one match race between opponents who, unlike in the individual pursuit, start next to each other.
		The Keirin is a variant of the sprint with a higher number (usually 6-8, or 9 in Japan) of sprinters compete in a very different format.
		Despite its name, the Olympic sprint (also known as the team sprint) is not a conventional match sprint contest but a type of short distance three-man team pursuit held over three laps of a velodrome.

	Roadcycling.com - Cycling News - Sprint to Win
		Sprinting is often an area of cycling riders either relish or shy away from.
		That is, a short burst of acceleration, then a short period where the sprint effort levels off, and then a final surge to the line.
		This is one of the best ways to simulate high-speed sprint finishes when you don’t have the benefit of a leadout or charging field of riders.

	Supercharge Your Sprint (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Sprinting is one of the primary components of cycling, for racers and recreational riders alike, but it's often neglected in training programs.
		When you master this initial part of the sprint, you can instantly open a one- to two-bike-length gap to the pack behind you, which is quite a head start.
		A sprint can be won with an excellent jump, but it can just as easily be lost with inadequate top-end speed.

		It is important that a long recovery period follow such sprints, as much as two minutes, to allow for a total rebuilding of ATP at the muscle level and to ensure the quality of the workout.
		If you want to be successful sprinting then you need to sprint under various situations, such as in a group, up a hill, on a narrow and rough single track and at the end of several hours on the bicycle to replicate sprinting at the end of a race.
		Race sprints: While riding with several teammates (five or six should be the maximum) try to replicate race sprints or jumps that you have seen from race videos or from past race experiences.

	improving end of race sprint
		Either the power read out you are relying on is not correct or you are spending a lot of time not tucked in the draft resulting in these 1000w spikes.
		If you were part of an Olympic sprint team at the track, as second or third rider you rely on the ease of being at maximum sprint speed by being in the draft.
		If there was an anaerobic demanding effort to sit in the draft at maximum front rider speed for either 250m or 500m, an Olympic sprint rider would not be able to take over and maintain a 250m flat to the boards effort with speeds in the high 60's.

		It is similar to a team points race, as points are awarded to the top finishers at the intermediate sprints and for the finishing sprint.
		Only one of the two team riders is on the track at any one time, riding for a number of laps, and then exchanging with his partner, who is propelled onto the track by a hand sling from the cyclist leaving the track.
		The event is a 2000 metre paced event in which the riders ride behind a motorised derny, which increases the potential speeds.

	Weight-training for sprint power
		As a result while there may be no data specificaly sprint cycling and weight training; you might be able to look at data from weight training and sprint training alone.
		Cycling only (or with only a little weights training) in the season therefore means that hypertrophy gains are not significantly comprimised and the neuromuscular adaptations are in favour of cycling.
		There was a study showing blood flow in the calves during cycling to be less than the rest of the leg as opposed to running where it was the same.
