Obviously, the best place to exit a pace line without disrupting the group is the front or the back, But sometimes when things are just too hard, you’re in a situation you can’t keep holding the wheel in front, and you don’t want to disrupt the group.
In this situation, signal to the guy behind you to come up, move off the line to the side it’s rotating, and use your last strength to accelerate up even with the bike in front. Thus the rider behind you fills in your gap in the draft with little or no disruption to the group.
