In the early days of road racing, Grand Tours could be won by a day and a half; now three weeks of racing can come down to a matter of seconds overall – thanks to tactics. The intricacies and complexities of cycling are what makes it so appealing. An eye for opportunity and a quick mind are just as essential to success as a big engine or good form. Over the years the races have developed and fresh approaches to tactics required. Peter Cossins has spoken to top cyclists and directeurs sportif from the biggest teams to find out how they develop and deploy tactics, from sprints and summits to marginal gains.
