  • But that's part of racing no

    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.

    Yes I appreciate that and get how it would mean a DQ. I'm not questioning why someone would be disqualified for breaking the rules.

    I think my query was why drafting is banned and the only reasonable reason I could find is that allowing it opens up the possibility of organised chain gangs. Banning it is the easiest way to keep things 'fair'.

    Anyway that's my risible contribution to ultra cycling done with. I'll happily stick to self supported touring.
