Regardless, the point of what I've written is this: being aware of positioning and learning how to navigate the pack to get into the position you want to be in with as little energy expended as possible is what good bike racers do.
It's something to think about, it's something to work on. There are tangible gains to be made.
That's all.
I can only speak for me, but I'm certainly not arguing against positioning and pack navigation being critical skills that a good bike racer needs to have. I've made a racing career out of using these aspects of bike racing to play above my pay grade.
