Corsaire, I think the more salient argument in your story is about fitness and not pride or common sense. A club racer that blows their load before 55 miles are up hasn't been taking their training seriously ...no matter if they ride a triple or a double. Shame on them.
For the same reason. If you haven't been training at all or the way you should then
why would you have a double to not keep up? pride maybe ? or perhaps stupidity
Incidentally, one of the double guys in front of me, on this steep long hill cracked wide open on his double, he couldn't crank up seating anymore, so he was standing when he fell over to his side gasping for air, I had to stop to see if he hadn't had a heart attack or something. That was foolish.
