It's physiological fact that you must intake what the body demands. If it demands more than the nose take in then you have to breathe through your mouth. You just can't take enough in through the nose to be able to perform at a high heart rate. Maybe your talking about breathing techniques. There are ways to regulate your breathing in events - Time Trials this could be more rhythmic .
I just can't even image going out on a ride (decent pace) and trying to breathe exclusively through your nose. If you race you'll be seeing the group go up the road on the first lap...
