In a draft legal OWS race, is it good or bad etiquette to draft off another person for all/majority/much of a race and then swing around and try to take the win?

In stage racing if a rider breaks away and another rider jumps on it seems to me that there is the cutomary discussion of working together so the break away succeeds, if one rider is measurablely stronger, the weaker rider risks helping the stonger who then breaks away for the win leaving the weaker rider to be swallowed up by the peloton. This of course would be foolish. If the stronger rider wants to Ho for the win he needs to ride the weaker of his wheel even if he has been sitting on the whole time (or so it would seem)
