Team Work in Cycle Racing

Team Work in Cycle Racing.

“When New Zealand sends cyclists away in future, the riders should realise that they are riding for their country first and their own glory second,” said Frank Grose, “veteran” cyclist to me, in Christchurch, a few weeks ago. “The English riders knew who their best man was, and all the riders in the English team helped him. This was also the case among the South Africans, and I honestly consider that had the wrong Englishman won, there would have been an ‘inquiry’ among the English riders!

“Our riders did their best to team, and I am proud to have been associated with such a fine bunch of cyclists, but we have lots to learn about real team work and unless we set about learning it we will always be at a disadvantage in big racing.”
