In Rendell’s chapter, I enjoyed how he described biking as an awkward sport. Not that its experience is awkward but the sport itself and all its components that contribute to who a winner is. He goes into detail on all the things a good cyclists thinks about and does during his race. He clearly describes the feeling and actions the cyclists does at certain points during a race. He goes into detail on how a cyclist must think about himself, his teammates, and his rivals in whole during a race. Because all those categories of people contribute to who will win during a race. As one cyclist separates from the pack,  the rest of his team must adjust and find ways to stay with the leader. The other team members that adjust are known as the “domestiques” which are servants to their team and leader. The “domestique” purpose is not to win the race but to help the leader and other teammates to win.
