What do you look at during a road group ride or a race?
Think about it for a minute. Put yourself in the middle of the pack.
Where are you looking? And specifically, why? Or for what?
In a worlds type ride, I scope out the folks before we start. If there are riders without a team kit, I will keep tabs on them throughout the ride. In a race and a worlds, I always keep an eye on my front wheel, and also look for a smooth wheel through the corners. There's a ton of processing going on, so it's really hard to say exactly, because every race/crit/worlds is different. Head is always on a swivel, but forward is a given.
