If you are at or near the front, try to stay off the brakes. The problem is all the other riders will still brake even if its not necessary, thats the beauty of getting out of the 4/5's
If you are yo yo ing at the back, and getting tired from all the sprinting there is a little trick you can do.
It involves letting a bit of a gap open before the corner, then maintaining your speed while the others in front of you slow. If you time it right, as they are exiting the corner and accelerating again, you will be closing up the gap and catching on the back. Same position yes, but you didnt have to go from 17 to 26 like the rest of them.. you just went from 26 to 23 to a draft aided 26 again.
If you watch the back of the pro race you can see some guys who are very skilled at this. When the pack comes out of the corner, look for the guy or guys at the very end of the line who seem to be coasting while the racers in front of them are standing up and working hard.
