Normally there's a cutoff distance (first lap maybe) or an understanding that after the first x minutes everyone should have split apart.

Indypac was a designated route and the start was flat. There were big groups until the first hill, about 25km in. Then it all broke up.
there were quite a few sets of traffic lights and big junctions so next to impossible for groups not to form.
I expect the start of tcr might be similar given the terrain and lack of alternative roads. Unless organisers do something there could well be a big bunch until cp1.
That was a big advantage of starting in geraadsb: lots of alternative roads after a steep hill to break things up.

How is drafting viewed at the start of a race?
I cant imagine there will be any variance in the route to CP1/ Parcour on this years TCR, people will grouped along that route by default almost.
