You say that now. But, going from 2-rider TS to 3-rider is hard like going from having to find 1 date for the prom to having to have 2 dates for the prom...and they have to get along
A lot of TS friction is who wants to ride with whom. I'm sure it's worse with TP, though.
Not to mention that there are those who ride one of the 3 positions better than other positions. Rider ability can vary greatly if they are riding Man 1, 2, or 3. Then if you ride on longer than a 250M, then it gets nuts. Masters was at Marymoore a few years ago...400m long
It would be easier for riders to make teams if men rode 2 laps than if women rode 3.
