you need to use the fact the guys at the back leave gaps to your advantage. if you are strung out and rolling turns, when you hit the front, punch the tempo up for a half lap before swinging up. if you're strong enough, there will be gaps usually in the front half of the paceline that you can slip into.
if there are no gaps, then to the back you go.
