Chariot Races

 

Get riders side by side in a double pace line, one on the black, one on the red moving at 30 km/h.  On the whistle the two lead riders do a full-on sprint (maximal effort, maximal jump) until they get within ¾ lap of the back of the field, at which they shut it down and get on the back, switching positions so the rider who was on the red is now on the black.  This should be a race between the two, so riders who are closely matched should be set against one another.  Make sure the two lead riders do not anticipate the sprint and pick up the pace.
