Professional cycling is perhaps most famous and beautiful Fitness Sport.
Typically a pro cycling team will consist of a team leader, a team captain and several team workers. Depending on the race, there may be one or two team leaders, a strong sprinter for flat races, or a strong climber for the tougher terrain.
The team leader is the rider within the team who is most likely to win the race.
The team workers play a vital role by supporting the team leader sheltering him from prevailing winds and getting food and drinks.
The team captain will generally be the most wily or tactically experienced rider; it is his job to coordinate the team so as to set up the best possible tactical position from which the team leader can succeed in his duty of winning.
Pro cycling teams compete on the Pro Tour, which includes the three week long tours of France, Italy and Spain as well as other famous single day races.
Some of these single day races range from 250 km to over 300km.
The World Cycling Championships are normally held late in the season which serve as an international platform for national teams around the world.
