Draft Zone” is a rectangle surrounding every competitor that is 3 metres wide
and extends to 7 metres behind the front wheel of the competitor’s
bicycle. The front edge of the front bicycle wheel will define the centre
of the leading 3-metre edge of the rectangle. A competitor may enter the
draft zone but must be seen to be making forward progress. A maximum of 15
seconds will be allowed for a competitor to pass through the draft zone.
(ITU/ETU RULE 2005)
·
The draft zone of one competitor may not overlap the draft
zone of another competitor. A competitor is overtaken when the front wheel of
another competitor’s bicycle is ahead of theirs. It is then his/her
responsibility to drop out of the draft zone, either sideways, or by dropping
back.
