We explore the influence of rotation on the evolution of massive stars (40 M⊙). We find the evolution in the HRD, the initial-final mass relation, and the duration of the various WR phases to depend sensitively on the initial rotation rate. We predict that, independent of the initial rotation rate, the majority of WR stars should be slow rotators.
