Agree with the first part, disagree with the second.
Even if it wasn't drafting, it's supposed to be a solo effort so riding in such close proximity to another rider for so long is bound to cause issues. Chatting with another rider for 30min or sharing a hotel in a town is one thing but not for 2000mi...
As for the "no way I'm riding in together, it's a race" well, it's a race. That's totally legit.
