So they’ve basically figured out how to lag-switch in real life. It takes some serious skill to gaslight the laws of physics and the referee at the exact same time.
What actually happened
Some track cyclists appear to break the rules of physics, but a new study, published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, has created a model explaining the illusion. The results suggest that a quick succession of well-timed moves can help cyclists get a head start without actually breaking the rules of the race or the rules of physics.
