Just like any other sport, cycling has its own strategies to win. And just like every other team sport, a great individual must have teammates to support him in order to win the championship.
Bicycle racing has its own strategies to win.
Unlike when you bent your butt up to brake your classmate in middle school, the technique of speeding with your teammates to the finish line in cycling is called Drafting , roughly translated as the technique of hiding from the wind .
As the name implies, 3 members of the racing team will be responsible for blocking the front wind so that the fourth member, in the last position, puts his energy into the final race.
However, every professional cycling team knows this technique, so it is clear that they will find a way to prevent the opponent from reaching the finish line. In the clip below, you will both understand the working principle of the Drafting technique, and witness the racing team taking advantage of the opponent’s blocking behavior to speed up to the finish line.
