Ed Clancy holds three Olympic team-pursuit gold medals — Beijing, London, and Rio — and is the most successful team-pursuit rider in the discipline's history. He was the start-man on the British squad that turned a four-minute event into a sub-3:50 standard. His specialism — the thirty-second standing start that sets the team's pace — is the ultimate expression of trained anaerobic power, neuromuscular drive, and pressure management. For Roadman's audience he is the bridge between road cycling fitness and the explosive end of the sport that most amateurs never train.
