The Active Hobo podcast with Ballairs covered the drafting and policing of it. There is just now enough resources and we can think what we want bit in 320 teams its the 310 teams that actually matter in this race and makes it what it is. So concentrating on those people is far more beneficial for the event. Last year Mother drafting ASAP/EuroSteel cost us a podium I'm sure. We also made sure we are within the rules. It just so happens it was one of the Kotas teams which then was made worse because I'm obv routing for Savage and it was deemed being salty... but as a racing team we wanted to race clean and HAVE to as part of the rules.
For Kotas, who cares. It's fun and games but for overall it def has to apply and a protest should be handled properly. Minor teams should respect that though and I don't think they do.
We don't really care that LPC drafted ASAP, ECC worked with Rouleurs or House of 12 who somehow thought they were part of Kotas latched on to 226ers same way Mother latched on to us last year. Savage boys were on their own, did the work and feel great about the effort. Had an awesome ride and was moertoe afterwards. This is how I remembered Savage from 5 years ago, results don't matter, laughing at who crashed and burned does 🤣
