When someone or two is sent to chase down/cover a break away from the
peloton, how does that work exactly? Do they join the breakaway but do no
pace setting thereby being simply extra baggage for the breakaway or do they
ride in front and slow down the pace??

getting away. We're right here and if you keep pressing this, we're just
gonna ride your wheel to the finish line, then sprint around you on fresh
legs for the win."--
