to further elucidate the more ELITE intricacies of half-wheeling, here are some tactical considerations:

if following the lead rider in a group of racers, half-wheeling allows you to stay in the lead rider’s blind spot.

by staying in the lead rider’s blind spot, you can ATTACK and gain a second or two before the lead rider can respond.

the half-wheeling rider can react to any accelerations by the lead rider without having to go around the lead rider.

the half-wheeling rider can still use a small amount of drafting – particularly if there’s a crosswind.

the half-wheeling rider can still see the lead rider’s face and will constantly be watching to see if mock agony changes to true agony, especially on climbs. if the half-wheeling rider sees true agony, ATTACK.

Doesn’t half-wheeling dictate that you are in front of the other rider? So you’d have to be the lead rider? Guess I only considered it as two riders and not a larger group.

Shop ride Cat6 tactics are much less refined, and more like:

if the … anything … ATTACK!!!
