  • it would keep a far higher percentage of riders in with the chance of the win

    No it wouldn't. How many riders do you think could actually sit on James, Bjorn, Matt's wheel?

  • That was kind of my original point in this whole thing, that if you're strong enough you'll drop anyone trying to hang on so drafting is fine (especially on an event like TCR with multiple routes and such a long duration).

    You then mentioned the 30% less effort stat which implied lots of 'lesser' riders would be able to hang in for longer...

    Anyway, I better do some work. And this has all got largely pointless. Good luck to everyone racing any ultras this year, be it your first or one of many.
