	Team pursuit
		The team pursuit is a track cycling event similar to the individual pursuit, except that teams of four riders compete.
		Riders in a team follow each other very closely in line to minimise total drag, and periodically the lead rider in the team (who works the hardest) will peel off the front and join the "train" of riders at the rear of the team.
		Also, the winning team is decided by whichever team's third rider crosses the line first, so it is common for one rider in the team to do more than their share of the front position in the first part of the race, then drop out towards the end.

	Team pursuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The team pursuit is a track cycling event similar to the individual pursuit, except that two teams, each of four riders, compete, starting on opposite sides of the velodrome.
		Riders in a team follow each other very closely in line to minimise total drag, and periodically the lead rider in the team (who works the hardest) will peel off the front, swing up the track banking and join the "train" of riders at the rear of the team.
		Since the winning team is decided by whichever team's third rider crosses the line first, it is common for one rider in the team to do more than their share of the front position in the first part of the race, then drop out towards the end.

	USATODAY.com - Team pursuit talk still abounds for U.S. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		And one USA coach said the bigger issue about team pursuit was the "dumb" way in which it was conducted.
		Thursday, that agony deepened, as no team skated faster than the USA in the semifinals, or in the medal rounds, won by Italy in 3:44.46.
		USA coach Tom Cushman, meanwhile, was upset about the scheduling and process used in the Olympic debut of team pursuit, a three-person event that covers eight laps of the Olympic oval for men, and six laps for the women.

		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.
		Two teams compete against each other, starting on opposite sides of the track, with the goal being to catch the other team, or finish three laps of the track first.

	SALES MODELS
		The primary responsibility of a pursuit team is to “open the door” to a targeted strategic account with a significant, high value, high impact project or solution.
		The ultimate goal of the pursuit team is to provide such compelling value to the customer that the team sustains project work and discovery of new opportunities for several months and perhaps years.
		Pursuit teams should create relationship maps for each target they are pursuing and assign responsibility for fostering relationships with each of the buying influences.

	Track Races.html
		Pursuit is typically run as an individual time trial, although in most cases two competitors are on the track at the same time, starting on opposite sides of the track.
		Team pursuit is typically run as a four person team time trial covering a distance of 4,000 meters.
		The team's time is typically taken on the third place rider at the finish (i.e., one rider may pull off before the end).

		Teams are grouped based on expected performance, so the two teams with the best expected performance race last.
