Isn't he also helping their chief competitors up the hill, too?

I don't get this big downside of not having any teammates around in the hills. Can't you just stick on the wheel of your competitor(s) and their teammates and let them drag you up the hill?
The main difference is someone in Popo's position can give everything on the climb to wear out the competition.
