I saw one on TV the other day.  Yawnfest!

But drafting would still work if they included
actual climbs on the bike leg.  They just need something
to allow the stronger riders to gain some time... if
they know they are just dragging their competitors
along they won't work, and the result is that
they all come back together.   If that's the goal
the organizers might as well delete the cycling and swimming
portions.
