Practicing is only good if your practicing the correct technique(s). Coming into a turn around, any time trialer has a lot to think about such as how much speed to carry into the turn, the line to take, when to brake, how to brake, what gear to down shift into, when or if to get out of the aero bars, etc. Out on the aero bars and with your finger on the bar end shifter on the drive side aerobar, you're about a foot away from the brake levers. Since the front brake lever is on the non-drive side and the shifter for the rear derailleur is on the drive side aero bar, it seems reasonable to me that after all has been said here, to brake with the front brake only unless I realize that I can't get the bike down to a perfect speed to execute the turn and get back up to speed without going off course. I'm really looking for the best technique(s) to shave off some seconds in this critical part of a time trial race.
