Group rotation: why thirty-second turns work

Rotation is not a contest for the front. It distributes work, keeps pace stable and prevents the group from splitting under surges.

Start the pull without a surge

When you move to the front, do not add a sudden 50–100 watts. The group should feel the same pace with a different rider leading.

Move aside by the agreed pattern, ease the effort and return to the line without sharp braking.

A short steady pull is better than a long heroic one. If you are tired, skip the turn and say it early.
