Well, by wearing yellow you're the target of concerted efforts from multiple teams. If you're in places below 1st, you aren't likely to be the same focus of attacks.

Yeah, but then being able to halt proceedings (to some limited extent, in some conditions) by sticking your arm in the air is a pretty significant advantage in the face of those attacks. If a third place rider was being attacked by a four place one, he wouldn't be able to stop it by needing a 'comfort break'...

Who would you suggest is in the most secure position? Or would you say everyone in the race is in an equal position?
