You need to draft off of each other to keep pace.
You must cooperate with those around you, to be in a position to win.

I used to do 60 mile races and the amount of energy you save when you are drafting is simply amazing.
That's what I was thinking too! I haven't watched any this year but I distinctly remember Athens 2004 when in the final race the two leaders who were well out in front kept switching positions for the reason you listed.
