Cycling - Road Cycling

Road cycling is one of the cycling disciplines. It is practised at both amateur and professional level in many countries. Cyclists compete in road races. A team sport with an individual ranking, road cycling is all about endurance and tactics. It is essential to know how to save energy. To do this, the cyclists take turns protecting themselves from the wind by positioning themselves one behind the other. They take it in turns to go further and faster. Road cycling is a very demanding sport which is to be distinguished from cycle touring, an amateur sport in which the focus is on leisure and tourism.
