Same reason that I don't race with a motor, it's making it unfair and not a solo effort.
The entire point of these races is a human-powered, solo effort from A to B.If drafting was legal, I just say oi skinny I'll give you £10k to tow me to the finish, interested?
Or I'd get a mate with a scooter to motorpace at 50kph for the first day out of Belgium or whatever.
Electromagnetic tow rope on passing buses...

I don't think anyone disputes that
The argument was about the hypothetical reasons for allowing / banning drafting.
In my opinion if you managed to hang onto Skinny's wheel for 2 days (and it was legal to do so) then yes you gained an advantage over others but you were able to hold the wheel while they weren't so that advantage is your reward.
Why can't I resist replying? Gah!! I will endeavour not to anymore so this thread can return to useful matters...
