Record 2 2003-10-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cycling
DEF

[A] motor-paced track rider.

CONT

Stehers (stayers) are riders who motorpace behind stripped-down BMW motorcycles with straight exhausts doing over 50 mph.

CONT

Behind the motorcycle is a metal frame that extends rearward and it is here that the cyclist will ride for the race, protected by the windbreak of the standing motorcyclist. It is obvious that the motorcycle needs all that power to overcome the immense drag of the Steher and still reach speeds on the what-must-seem-to-be-minuscule 250 m track of 75km/h.

OBS

Steher: German term.
