But that's part of racing no? The only argument against drafting that I can appreciate is that It opens the door for large chain gangs to ride as an organised bunch. But if someone has caught you up and is drafting from you then yeah it sucks, but then force them to the front or drop them!
As mentioned above, I don't race these events so my opinion is pretty much irrelevant.

Not this kind of racing, no. No more than it's a part of racing if you're taking part in a time trial.

No. I don't see why I have to keep saying this. These are "no drafting" events.
If I decide to get into a car and drive to the finish, I've failed at adhering to the rules and will be DQ'd. Same goes for drafting.

No you don't. If they can only keep up by saving 30% of their energy then they can't keep up at all. You take your phone out and video them and report them to race orgs for cheating.
