Summary
Who would have thought that the champion of the Tokyo Olympics cycling time trial was a
mathematician? Believe it or not, math does it. In this paper, we will build a mathematical model of
the power curve to help riders win races.
In
Task 1
, we build a power-duration model based on biological principles. This model has three
stages: Extreme, Severe, Heavy. After substituting the searched rider data into the model, we plot
the power curves of the sprinter and time trial s
