What is "road bicycle racing"?
Road bicycle racing is a type of cycling competition that takes place on public roads, often involving long distances and varying terrain, including hills, flat stretches, and sometimes cobblestones. Races can be individual or team events, where cyclists race against each other or work together to achieve the best team result. The most famous road races include the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, and Vuelta a España. Riders must be skilled in pacing, strategy, and endurance, as these races can last several hours or even days. Races are often divided into stages, with each stage taking place on a different route.
