*GLIDING
You can't just pedal all the time or else you will run out of energy and be
forced to retire. The best thing to do is to pedal to reach full speed, then
stop pedaling so you will glide for a while. Glide for a couple of seconds
and then just pedal a bit again to catch up. Keep doing this to finish each
race without being forced to retire due to lack of energy.
*LENGTH OF RACE
Pay attention to the length of the track before you start it. Some tracks are
much longer than others. As a result, you will have to glide for much longer
throughout these races. Take your time as you pedal throughout the longest
stages.
*FORCING OTHERS TO CRASH
This could be very helpful since you will know that by making others crash,
you have a much better chance of finishing in the qualifying positions. To
make others crash, go on the side of other racers that the wind is blowing
into. You will block them and if there is another cyclist ahead of them, they
will hit the back of those racers and both racers will crash.
*WIND
Pay attention to the wind during each race. The direction will be on the
bottom of the screen. The wind will slowly push you to one side. Make sure to
correct the wind, especially when approaching the walls and other racers on
the track.
*RAIN
The only effects rain will have is going to be stronger winds and it will be
harder to brake. Oddly enough, you will be able to turn and handle just as
well as if it's dry. You shouldn't be braking too much so this won't be much
of an issue. Just make sure to correct the stronger winds.
*TEAMMATES
You will see some teammates on the track that you will pass. If you cycle by
them, you will cycle together. This will allow you to save on some energy so
do this as much as possible. They will also help you when you are slightly
behind them because they will crash instead of you.
