kingalton Posted July 10, 2014 Share On the note of wheel suckers, don't be scared to tell the freeloaders to do some work, they usually work for a bit and then are done anyway and will fall off.. nonky and Danger Dassie 2 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/141128-drafting-in-a-mtb-race/page/2/#findComment-2358572 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH8MUD Posted July 10, 2014 Share If in a team or 2-person stage race . . . then Draft. I might be wrong but even top teams draft behind their partners and took turns on the "flat roads" in the Epic. If it someone you don't know . . . . and don't share in doing the work up-front . . then F#$$-off!!I have stopped in a race to get rid of leach like drafters.
