All cycling enthusiasts have come across, in one way or another, the expression slope gradient of a climb. The slope gradient represents the number of meters we climb in altitude over a given piece of terrain. This slope gradient is given as a percentage (%). If we have an ascent of 6 kilometres (d) with the peak at 1200 meters of altitude (h) and the beginning of the ascent to sea level (0 meters of altitude), the slope gradient is 20%. Slope gradient = (1200 ÷ 6000) × 100 If we have an ascent of 4 kilometres (d) with the peak at 1000 metres of altitude and the beginning of the ascent at 600 metres of altitude (h = 1000 – 600 = 400), the slope gradient is 10%. Slope gradient = (400 ÷ 4000) × 100 I hope this expression is simpler for you and that you enjoyed the publication.
In recent years, enormous talents have emerged and appear to win competitions at a very young age. Among these cases are Remco Evenepoel, João Almeida, Tadej Pogacar among others. This article aims to understand the number of young people who are included in the teams starting for the different grand tours in 2023, as well as their impact on the races. In this way, the three Grand Tours were analyzed ( Giro d'Italia , Tour de France and La Vuelta ). At the start of each Grand Tour, there were 176 cyclists. Of these 176, there were 46 young cyclists in the Giro d'Italia , 30 young cyclists in the Tour de France and 56 young cyclists in the La Vuelta . Giro d'Italia Tour de France La Vuelta Total athletes 176 176 176 Young 46 30 56 Percentage of young 26.1% 17.1% 31.8% However, this analysis does not stop here. It was consequently analyzed how many young cyclists finished the three Grand Tours and the number was high. ...
