Cycling Sprint

Free

Match sprints on a banked indoor velodrome: three laps against one rival, in a quarter-final, a semi and a final. Ride the tactics — sit on their wheel in the draft, climb the banking to dive for speed — then time your sprint. Your burst is limited: go too early and you fade, too late and they're gone.

Controls: Right / D to pedal harder, Left / A to ease off. Up / Down to move up or down the banking. Space or K to sprint (it uses your burst). On a phone: PEDAL, EASE and the banking arrows on the left; SPRINT on the right.

How to play Cycling Sprint

Cycling Sprint is the match sprint from track cycling: you race one rival over three laps of a banked velodrome, in a quarter-final, a semi-final and a final. Lose a race and you're out.

Controls: Right / D to pedal harder, Left / A to ease off. Up / Down to move up or down the banking. Space or K to sprint (it uses your burst). On a phone: PEDAL, EASE and the banking arrows on the left; SPRINT on the right.

Tips

  • Ride a couple of metres behind your rival to sit in their draft. You keep their speed for far less effort and save your sprint.
  • Climb the banking before you attack. Diving down it as you jump turns the height into extra speed.
  • Your sprint burst lasts about ten seconds. Jumping from around 300 metres out usually works best; much later and the rival goes first.
  • Pedalling hard all race empties your sprint bar too, so ease off in the tactical laps.
  • If the rival breaks away, don't let the gap grow past about ten metres: you lose the draft and it's hard to close.
