The basics of time trial

As a pretty obvious general rule, the longer the race, the lower you need to set the effort level to keep them from tiring before the line. In a 7k prologue, you might be able to run 78 effort... in a 50k tt, you might need to run 53 effort. Also, aside from short bursts toward the line... you'll never really be running above the 70's for any length of time. Most courses are going to be something between 55-75... There's a few super short 2k prologues or long 60k TT's that are obvious exceptions but you really don't want to be too far on either side of those numbers for extended periods of time.
Personally, I try to pick a specific effort level that I can run the whole race at and leave just a bit left for a surge in the last k or for the last hill. Some people try to find a HR and stick it to one rate for the whole course, both methods work but I find the effort level a bit easier to monitor.
For stage races, you want to use your team to find the perfect effort level for your GC guy... send a couple guys a bit high, a couple a bit low, and you eventually find the 'sweetspot' that will let your GC pin it up to the end without over-revving himself.
To pick the effort level for your first rider, you have to guage the terrain and the length and just make your best 'guess' and then start adjusting for each rider that follows. If you've got a course with a huge hill in the beginning followed by dh & flat and half way through the course you still have 50% energy left, you're going too slow... start speeding up and send the next guy a bit faster. If you get half way through and your guys almost out of gas... slow down and send the next guy at a lower level. After the first three or four guys, you should have it down to within a couple points of the 'perfect' effort level and, from there, it all comes down to your riders skills and his form.Home | Submit a new Tip & Trick
I have found that you often improve your time significantly by putttin your rider on slightly low effort on flat parts and downhill parts in order to preserve energy, and then raise the effort to very high levels up hills or in the final kilometres.
Let's say effort 60 is the pace that balances energy and distance left over the entire course, the "sweetspot". This will undoubtedly give you a good time, but I have found that if you set your GC rider on 58 for most of the course and build up energy reserve to ride on 70+ in the last 5 km or so or riding in high 60s up a final hill gives a relative advantage over just riding a steady pace all the way. The reason for this is that the relative speed difference between 58 and 60 is less substantial than the amount of energy you preserve and thus when you have the ability to significantly increase the effort in the end in total you're gaining a speed increase.
A great example of this is the mountain time trial in the Giro (original DB). When I ride that I am never close to have the best time at the first intermediate time, but at the top of the mountain I often take the first three positions even with riders that are way worse than most of the climbers because the difference caused by changing the effort on the flat is lower than on mountanous or hilly terrain.
