- If you want good teamwork, don't group Ayuso with Pogacar or Almeida. Ayuso couldn't work well with these 2, especially Almeida.
KerisVroom05-05-2025 - You obviously want to arrange every story to suit your agenda. Your logic here is like claiming we don’t need police because you heard a story of an officer stopping a woman who’s lost her waters for document checking on her way to hospital. It was just a stupid person exploiting his powers, am sure he was not specifically instructed to do this at this event by management in Switzerland. It is far more likely he could have been given some ( maybe financial) incentive by someone to be difficult, cycling isn’t always as friendly a family as it tries to portray.Mistermaumau05-05-2025
- Oh boy, that discussion again. The car fad is what prevents the cycling industry from becoming more creative. NOBODY cares about efficient bike shapes, look at how many people know who did or what the records for HPVs are. Look at what the vast majority of citizens in cycling countries like the Netherlands ride. If normal people, or even amateur cyclists were so interested in efficient biking, they’d be investing in TT bikes or just hacking any bike with 50€ triathlon handlebars instead of wasting 1000s on pseudo marginal gain pro development knock offs. The UCI does wonders for the bike industry, it boomed over the last decade and when it’s not one type, it’s another. In fact, what’s the point of promoting efficient super designed bike shapes when we teach people to be lazy by plonking an e- onto any fashionable shape so they don’t have to pedal at all? And finally, even if the industry sleeps with the UCI when it’s of interest, is it really the UCI’s job to help the bike industry become more progressive, profitable, popular, whatever?Mistermaumau05-05-2025

James2631805-05-2025 - If anyone still thinks the UCI is a good thing for cycling, I wonder what evidence would be sufficient for convincing them otherwise?acem8205-05-2025
- Yes, the UCI is great at preventing efficient bicycles from getting market traction. What a great service they provide!acem8205-05-2025

- Of course the dimensions have to be checked as long as pro cycling continues to be defined by a traditional bicycle definition, otherwise you open the door to all sorts of weird vehicles, like recumbants to keep the technical side easy. Obviously there can ve a completely different procedure for the check than how it was carried out here. If all went according to how reported, the team/rider should sue the official/UCI for result manipulation, this incident shows among other things, how the door is (left) wide open to corrupting officials to disadvantage people. Would be so easy to do those checks well without stressing riders. Maybe the triathlon system would be a solution ?Mistermaumau04-05-2025
