I've read so many reports from TD where riders are getting a proper advantage from others. Even the women's winner the other year had people helping fix her bike and they were riding nights together "for safety" and stuff. It really isn't unsupported and I find it funny that Lael got shit for having a camera crew but no one bats an eyelid when the winner of another edition is riding huge chunks with a couple of dudes.
It's a shame it's 'tolerated' at the TD in my opinion.
