What is drafting?

Drafting occurs when you ride behind another rider or group of riders. You gain the advantage of not having to work as hard (not put out as much power) because the other rider(s) help to break the wind. Drafting percentage will vary greatly, depending on how close you are to other riders, what the wind direction is, and how many riders there are in the group. While in game, you can see the percentage of draft (if any) on the lower part of the screen in the center left.
