MECHANICS: Make position harder to EARN
At the moment I feel like it is TOO easy to move through a crowded peloton and therefore removes a fair bit of the team tactics getting your key rider in the right position within a group.
If you can easily ride through the hoard or riders, then you don’t really need a team as much.
Indoor cycling already removes a lot of the team tactic aspects of cycling (no need to go back to grab waters/etc from the cars), no need to fight people off wheels, and so-on.
I think it would be great to make it near impossible to slip through a congested peloton (aka make it realistic to outdoor riding

Great idea! I think there is even a potential for gamification with a small minigame where you need to burst power for 5 seconds to take a position that opens up in front of you. If there are three riders competing for the position, the one with the highest burst takes the position.
