Chapter Chapter 1 in The Economics of Professional Road Cycling, 2022, pp 1-8 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Professional road cycling is one of the oldest professional sports. Throughout the twentieth century, it gathered a steady following in countries like France, Belgium, Italy, and Spain. The sport continues to grow in the twenty-first century with increasing media attention across the world. Although, from a worldwide point of view, cycling is still a relatively small and commercially underdeveloped sport, academic interest in the sport started to grow slowly over the past two decades. This volume provides a comprehensive survey of economic and management research on professional road cycling, and it offers a valuable insight into the current overall state of sports economists’ understanding of the sport. The first chapter serves as an introduction to the book and includes a description of the contents of the various chapters.
