The Physics of Friction

Master the brutal math of drafting and saving watts.

1. The Mirage

   Solitude is a Trap

   While it looks like an individual sprint, riding alone is a death sentence for your energy reserves. The air in front of you acts like a physical wall.

2. Mechanism

   The Fluidity of Air

   At race speeds of 45km/h, over 90% of a rider's energy is spent simply pushing through air molecules. It is the invisible opponent that never tires.

3. The Math

   The 40% Discount

   Tucking in directly behind another rider reduces your wind resistance by up to 40%. It's the difference between an easy stroll and a heart-bursting sprint.
