Bicycle Darwinism
No doubt there are mixed economy lessons to be learned from the sport as well: Rules are needed to prevent conduct that injures others and to keep the game fair; co-operative teamwork produces better overall results; costs/benefits of long-term strategy vs. short-term gain, etc.
I couldn't find an article by that name online, including Nexis and Factiva, but I'll bet it overlooked evidence to the contrary.

"Of interest(I wish I could get an 80% draft!!!)on page 149 in the DRAFTING box-they say ""tucking...reduces your effort by up to 80% !
I assume this error is due to the first column, half way down next page(150) that ""a bike racer consumes almost 80% of his energy cutting through the air.
Not a bad article, but little errors like this---hmmmm people will think that the Tour de France is easy to finish!!!"

the author
The article's author is Paul Hochman. It would be ironic if it the same individual that is part of OLN's cycling coverage broadcast team.
I haven't read the article yet. Thanks Jay for pointing this out.

how about this business lesson from cycling
the drones do all the work, the star CEO (captain) races seriously only in a few decisive situations. and of course gets all the clout and the dough. it IS like the real world isnt it ????
