The changes of pace, the change of cadence or gears, can make us brake / accelerate and that we can do the “sharpener” with our group mates. They give us some tips to avoid it

The effort

Going up standing up makes us involve the upper part of the body in the effort, increasing the pulsations and the effort.

You have to take into account the intensity of the effort depending on whether it is an attack, a change of pace or a sprint, where you can give everything
