  • 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.

  • But that's part of racing no?

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

  • Exactly.

    If you catch someone, ride around them and pass them quickly.
    If you're passed, drop back to let them carry on.

    Shit, ride side to side for 10min for a chin wag, it's not drafting. Just don't do it for 2100km and then 'win'.
