  For a moving bicycle, the power can be modelled as a response to the
propulsion of the centre of mass of the bicycle-cyclist system. On a velodrome,
an accurate modelling of power requires a distinction between the trajectory of
the wheels and the trajectory of the centre of mass. We formulate and examine
an individual-pursuit model that takes into account the aforementioned
distinction. In doing so, we provide details of the invoked physical principles
and mathematical derivations, with an emphasis on their limitations. We assume
that a velodrome consists of two parallel straights and two semicircular arcs.
We neglect the effects of the track inclination along the straights and assume
the track inclination along the curves to be constant. For either segment, we
consider two distinct black-line speeds. For the latter, the lean-angle
expression is derived based on a noninertial frame of the cyclist. Among
conclusions quantified by this model is the fact that a constant-cadence
approach to an individual pursuit does not minimize the required power.
