If part of controls were running on your computer, then your computer had enough resources to properly manage accurate drafting for you... The same for all the riders.
The server is managing to generate a virtual image that includes the relative position of other users in real time, and pedal feel that is unique for each user, at that moment in time. I would think that adding another layer for drafting effect, felt in the pedals, would be possible. I know very little nothing about this kind of programming, so maybe it's way more complex than I'm imagining.
