Arre bhai, sitting on a wheel reminds me of the forty-year-old harmonium in my shop — everyone leans on it, says it’s solid, but the reeds are all bent from bearing weight it was never meant to carry. Drafting saves energy, sure, but the one at the front spends his lungs while the pack gets the benefit; that’s not team work, that’s what our leaders call *‘efficiency of the system’* while the weak get dropped. I’d rather be the mechanic who checks whose chain is about to snap than the fan cheering for the yellow jersey.
