It’s the race behind the race, a secretive scientific battle between the richest and most technologically advanced teams in professional cycling.
Suffering on the road remains a core part of cycling, but training, nutrition and performance physiology have advanced massively in the last three decades, and especially the last ten years.
As cycling performance nears its physiological limit, teams are looking to push the scientific boundaries of the sport. Behind the scenes, scientists, engineers and PhD researchers are working in wind tunnels and laboratories, aided by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and artificial intelligence (AI), as they hunt for new marginal – or even maximal – gains.
