Resistance to wind resistance requires wheeling skills

Why do drivers always see the scenery of a road or a two-lane column during a road race?

In the racing field of the bicycle, there are no permanent enemies. In racing races that compete for every second, in order to combat the wind resistance, the drivers can be temporary friends.

Whether racing out or going out to train, a professional cycling team must have the necessary wheeling skills and want to ride efficiently. It must adhere to several principles. Otherwise, improper operation will consume each other's strength and the result will be counter-productive.

First, the composition of the members

The ideal wheeler should adopt the way of the hens and the chickens. The team will have experienced veterans at the same time, and the newly emerging riders.

Second, the queuing method

The formation of the wheeled vehicles is probably not a detour and a second-row column. In the first column, all drivers follow the pace of the first driver and keep moving at a certain speed. When the first driver retires to the side of the team. The second place is then filled in. The time for each hand change is a few seconds, but it can reach several minutes.

Reminder: Selecting a column can reduce the use of space on the road.

The second-line column is divided into speed-up columns and rest columns according to speed. As the name implies, it is a wheeler technique that divides the driver into two parallel and non-stop action. It is also known as a drip wheel or a tracked wheel. Usually, in this case, the speed of one of the wheels will be slightly faster than the other.

How do the rims go? Simply put, if you are a top winder, when the distance from the front row of the riders is a front wheel, it's time to prepare for a shift. Retire to the rest column rider and follow the wheeler. The rhythm of the operation until the arrival of the end of the team, make up the position of the last driver in the accelerometer.

Third, how to practice

First of all, you can try the first column method, the top wind leader will change hands after about twenty seconds, when leaving the team from the left or right of the team can be, with the team to maintain a close distance, about the extent of elbow touch, Retired to the bottom of the team.

Reminder: It is best to tell teammates with a hand gesture when the wheeler is in, and the direction of the uniform wheeler, if changed from the right side, then swing the left elbow, and vice versa.

Then try the track-type wheeled vehicles in an advanced way. The teams will work in two parallels to experience the position of the top wind and the way to retreat to the rest row. Simulate clockwise and counterclockwise movements until they are skilled.

Finally, we should practice the adjustment of the formation in the face of cross wind conditions. Facing the wind in different directions, the trend of exit will be adjusted accordingly. Under strong lateral wind conditions, the team will have an offset situation. The shape of the formation is called the formation of the formation of the ladder. It is also known as the formation of the slope ladder. There are even cases where the rear front wheel overlaps. However, this action must take considerable risks. If the experience is not enough, the front wheel of the rider who is behind may cause the whole. The team crashes and it is advisable to locate the empty space during practice.

Reminder: The team should choose to change from the side where the wind comes. For example, if the wind comes from the right front, the players face the wind and adjust to the diagonal riding position to save energy.
