The pursuit of Olympic glory in cycling has evolved far beyond pure physical prowess, transforming into a sophisticated blend of human performance and cutting-edge technology. For India's cycling hopefuls, who are yet to secure Olympic qualification despite strong showings at continental events, the strategic adoption of advanced cycling technologies could prove to be the decisive factor in bridging the gap with international competitors. As aerodynamic drag becomes the dominant force at speeds above 25 km/h, accounting for up to 90% of total resistance at 40 km/h, the role of technology in maximizing performance has never been more critical.
