>>1949549the UCI are keeping the spirit of henri desgrange alive
its interesting to me that chris boardman crushed the hour record no matter what bike he was on
bike makers now spend a shit load of money to make marginal improvements that still sneak under the UCIs rules
that said without such rules the sport would rapidly turn into a one or two horse race due to escalating costs and contract exclusivity
such as happens in motor sport and more recently the Olympics in the space of running (fancy shoes) and swimming (super cheaty body suits)
