I thought the whole idea of a paceline was to break wind.

Specialized even makes a gauge for measuring where your blow hole is, or so I've heard.

Once I was breaking wind on a crappy ride, then my tire went flatulence. 
I was forced to hopper off the bike.

The correct answer is so obvious yo us farters. It's right after you finish the pull and you fall off to rotate back. If you follow it in front, the surge creates a gap. If you do it in back, you can crash into the last riders. The only safe place is on the side.
Of course this doesn't work with a rotating double line.

Give a little gap, soft pedal and let 'er rip. Puts you right back where you want to be if you time it right. If I ate Taco Bell the night before, I leave a bigger gap........

I think this voids the warranty of most saddles...
