Peloton

Team Bahrain Victorious to'g'ri chiziq bo'ylab slipstreamingni kuchaytiradi, bu esa orqadagi velosipedchilar uchun, ko'pincha sprinterlar yoki GC velosipedchilari kabi asosiy chavandozlar uchun tortishni kamaytiradi va energiyani tejaydi.

Velosiped poygasida peloton (fransuz tilidan tarjima qilingan bo`lib, dastlab " vzvod " degan ma'noni anglatadi) chavandozlarning asosiy guruhi yoki to'plami hisoblanadi. Guruhdagi chavandozlar boshqa chavandozlarga (ayniqsa orqada) yaqin ( chizma yoki slipstreaming ) haydash orqali energiyani tejashadi. Dragning kamayishi dramatik; yaxshi rivojlangan guruhning o'rtasida minish, tortishish 5% -10% gacha kamayishi mumkin. Ushbu potentsial energiya tejamkorligidan foydalanish poyga taktikasida chavandozlar va jamoalar o'rtasida murakkab hamkorlik va raqobatbardosh o'zaro ta'sirlarga olib keladi. Bu atama umuman professional velosipedchilar hamjamiyatiga nisbatan ham ishlatiladi.
