Το Au Vélodrome , επίσης γνωστό και ως Ποδηλατοδρόμιο και Le cycliste , είναι ένας πίνακας του Γάλλου καλλιτέχνη και θεωρητικού Jean Metzinger . Το έργο απεικονίζει τα τελικά μέτρα του αγώνα Paris-Roubaix και απεικονίζει τον νικητή του 1912 Charles Crupelandt . Η ζωγραφική του Metzinger είναι η πρώτη στη μοντερνιστική τέχνη που αντιπροσωπεύει ένα συγκεκριμένο αθλητικό γεγονός και τον πρωταθλητή του.

Jean Metzinger (24 June 1883 – 3 November 1956) was a major 20th-century French painter, theorist, writer, critic and poet, who along with Albert Gleizes wrote the first theoretical work on Cubism.

 His earliest works, from 1900 to 1904, were influenced by the neo-Impressionism of Georges Seurat and Henri-Edmond Cross. Between 1904 and 1907 Metzinger worked in the Divisionist and Fauvist styles with a strong Cézannian component, leading to some of the first proto-Cubist works. 

 From 1908 Metzinger experimented with the faceting of form, a style that would soon become known as Cubism. His early involvement in Cubism saw him both as an influential artist and an important theorist of the movement. 

The idea of moving around an object in order to see it from different view-points is treated, for the first time, in Metzinger's Note sur la Peinture, published in 1910.

 Before the emergence of Cubism, painters worked from the limiting factor of a single view-point. Metzinger, for the first time, in Note sur la peinture, enunciated the interest in representing objects as remembered from successive and subjective experiences within the context of both space and time. Jean Metzinger and Albert Gleizes wrote the first major treatise on Cubism in 1912, entitled Du "Cubisme".

 Metzinger was a founding member of the Section d'Or group of artists.
