I completely get it with twitter/instagram interactions. The whole race is about self sufficiency and doing it on your own. Having people point out potentially game-changing hints, tips and information you couldn't have even guessed at otherwise is going to diminish the sense of individual, personal achievement. And tbh, if a rider has access to twitter they've also got access to Sheldon and the rest of the internet. Any mechanical/routing/resupply problems are googleable.
