Re: Tour de Ironman Florida in video [monty]

The drafting going on now is about as tight as it gets. IF you let everyone draft, the packs will get smaller, not bigger. Groups would form immediatly, and the fast groups would ride in front of the slower ones, unlike the scenario now. Small groups form, and suck up single riders all through the race, until they are 100+. IF those early riders group up right away, they most likely will not get caught by trailing packs.

While I agree that the safety issue is a bit overblown for races like Florida or Kona, remember that the vast majority of Ironman races now have multi-loop bike courses. You will not always have open road ahead of you. After the first lap, you will have fop packs lapping bop packs at drastically different speeds on potentially narrow sections of road (many races only have one lane to work with).
