WHAT????
because of the different speed profiles in headwinds, downhills and uphills between a recumbent and upright. And the fact that you have a whopping great chainring and pedals just behind the rear wheel of an upright when drafting on a recumbent means you have to concentrate much more.

I find it is much less stressfull to ride in a paceline on a normal bike than on a recumbent.
