Drafting and Pack Running Tactics for Road Races
Drafting in road racing can reduce aerodynamic drag by 3–6% at race pace, translating to measurable energy savings over long distances. Understanding optimal pack positioning, wind direction tactics, and the timing of surges can be the difference between a personal best and blowing up. This guide breaks down the biomechanics and race-day application of pack running so you can race smarter.
