Default Race speeds/effort in paddling? How much force on each pole?


Drafting helps both riders/drivers. Rear rider is helped by decreased
frontal air flow (the obvious one) and the front rider is helped by
having the turbulent air flow moved to the back of the rear rider.
They share the advantage although the gains for the front rider are
much more.
