so 10 meter spacing required? single file?? that is logisticaly impossible. When you are being blocked, what do you do? you suck a wheel and tell them to "stay right"; as soon as you are past- you get to the right.
For this video, when you are out of the saddle out of a corner= nobody cares about drafting, nobody.
I agree that there is way too much drafting in IM races, but this video makes for a very poor example, because it is a video of racers exiting a turn. Re-read your rules, kids, you can't get a drafting penalty while entering or exiting a turn.
I just don't understand the motivation to cheat when 99% of the racers in a field like this are recreational athletes. We need to start policing our own sport better.
This is neither a peleton nor drafting.

We need 100% closed roads so there is room and without cars congesting us to one side of teh road. We pay the entry fees - shut the roads.
