I've done both, and also been the whittler. I can say that it can get pretty tough riding at the front for the whole exercise in the wind*. The pace goes up to a point but then levels out, it's because everyone is getting tired that they think the speed is still rising.
*especially for a "fat sprinter" with no endurance.
