As a cyclist (albeit never raced), I want to get offended by this but I feel is largely correct. There is a lot of real time strategizing happening in road races however the marginal gains of simply having more Watts per kg for more hours t

Circular shift is the trivial solution. In my high school every row moved up on Mondays and the front row moved to back. Of course you could argue the ones who started at the front on week 1 still has an advantage but it's likely not t
