dc.description.abstract | Cycling is arguably one of the most physically demanding sports. However, road cycling
athletes are also challenged by a social-psychological tension induced by a fairly simple
dilemma: There will only be one individual winner, but no one can win unless teammates
sacrifice their own chances to win. This article addresses ways to effectively handle this
challenge. We conducted in-depth interviews with athletes from professional and conti

nental road cycling teams, as well as team sports directors. Our findings indicate that a
prime undertaking indeed is to deal with the trade-off between individual goals and team
goals. We identify three principles that may help to improve cooperation: involvement,
cohesion, and the psychological contract. These principles seem to facilitate cooperation
and a collective orientation, and they seem to be positively related to performance and
satisfaction. We discuss these findings and their implications for cycling teams in particu
