There was a case back in 2009 where a Lead Rider was doing 85mph, but fined as if he was doing the 103mph that one of the following riders was doing because his speed was an "aggravating factor".

Given that was 8 years ago and there don't seem to have been any similar cases reported (or, at least, haven't made big news) I presume it didn't set a major precedent.
