If you've already finished it before and you were gunning for the record or the win you can kinda understand not pushing on through possibly race ending conditions when given the chance.
ie. you were 5th and now you're equal first because the leaders have all stopped too. Why hurt yourself unnecessarily. As soon as someone goes I guess the rest will be out the door soon after. Someone will see it as an opportunity and then everyone else will react.
Good point about the documentary, sitting around not riding is boring.
