Baseball season officially kicked off last night, with a Sunday night game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. In honor of Opening Day 2015, this week we consider the MLB walk-up song—that personal track each player selects to pump up the crowd as he heads toward the plate.
But why should baseball players have all the fun? While cyclists might not have the chance to blast personalized music while lining up to start a race, that doesn’t mean we don’t have our own pump-up playlists waiting in the wings. After all, a good jam can turn a lackluster ride into a triumph of the human spirit, and do for your pre-race mental state what a solid walk-up song does for a crowded stadium—crank the energy up to 11.
We asked six professional cyclists what their walk-up song would be, and this is what they said. What would yours be?
