Rotation affects all the outputs of the evolution and nucleosynthesis of massive stars. We discuss the evolution of the rotational velocities, the internal ω-gradients, the tracks in the H-R diagram, the age determinations, the evolution of the surface N/C abundance ratios, the B/R number ratios of blue to red supergiants and the lifetimes in the WR stages.
