Maybe, but I also end up doing silly stuff like letting myself fall 20s off the back to force myself to dig back on, or attacking hard to get the split and then drifting back. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I figure if you're able to push yourself to XYZ level in an interval, at worst you could do that off the front of a race ride. Some of the nomenclature might just be different through. The "group" rides I do have high skill variation and they aren't friendly or no-drop. Attacks, counters, and gamesmanship are expected and accepted.
