It is the performance of the the Horta Velodrome in the Vall d’Hebron on man on the bike.” the first day of track competition. But he did There was more excitement to come. A much more than that. He took the first-ever photo finish in the second heat of the men’s cycling gold for a Spaniard, right on the heels of Miguel Indurain’s win in the Tour de France. After a minute 3.342 seconds of holding its breath, the crowd went wild. Christopher Boardman (GBR) caused an equal sensation in the individual pursuit. After setting two world best times in the heats, he became the first cyclist to catch his opponent, world champion Jens Lehmann (GER), in an Olympic final, with a lap to go. He rode a carbon-fibre bike developed by Mike Burrows to be the most aerodynamic cycling machine in the world: a high saddle, low racing bars and a cantilevered design with the wheels on one side: “The greatest revolution since the penny-farthing went out of fashion,” said the inventor, an engineer and cycling enthusiast. Boardman’s gold was the first for British cycling since Harry Ryan and Thomas Lance had won on a tandem in 1920. * 4000 m poursuite par équipes Team pursuit Persecución por equipos 1.GER Michael Gloeckner Jens Lehmann Stefan Steinweg Guido Fulst 2.
