    Allegation? No different than any pro (and many amateur as
    well) race since I was a teenager. It's usually not clear
    either way, and life goes on.

    It's the moto's job to get out of the way. It isn't the riders job to
    slow down. For that fact, A few KM from the finish there was a Uno-X
    rider in the peloton waving wildly at the moto in front of the peloton
    to get out of the way so the chasers wouldn't be able to take a draft advantage. In any case, the break was away for 150 Km of a 156 Km stage.
    If there was any drafting advantage realized by the break it was
    minimal. The breakaway groups podium placings were well- deserved.

    Chis Horner had the whole race recorded and went back and forth and could see no motodrafting, and the complaint was from one of thew sprinters thyat couldn't catch the breakaway. And to top that off that sprinter was caught on camera drafting one of the motos. No big deal but don't throw stones.
