take a turn [at the front] Explanation: Simple as that. The position at the front of the peloton is rotated as the rider in that position shields the one behind from the draft and so on down the line. The team cooperates to shield their top rider(s) from the draft until it is time to make a break. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2013-01-16 14:37:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A rider who fails to take his turns at the front is known as a "leech", for obvious reasons. |
