About the event

As Jean De Gribaldy (Sean Kelly’s Director Sportife for many years) famously said “Cycling is like boxing: It’s not a game. It’s a hard terrible, pitiless sport that demands great sacrifices. One plays football, tennis, hockey but one doesn’t play at cycling”. In this context, and in a way almost unique to sport, cycling remains a sport at the cutting edge of engineering and continuously pushing the boundaries of engineering design and material science. This talk discusses some of the key areas in which engineers contribute to the design of racing bicycles and also are to the forefront of sports performance monitoring.
