  Yes! Clear up these gray areas before lives are lost or damaged!

  Surely the question should be what else are they using as they smash climbing records? Records that have stood since the EPO era.

  Why? He is past his "sell by "date. Just like Froome.

  Tom has a bit of an overblown image of himself. Contrast him to Pog- night and day.

  The other commenters are exactly right - different eras. It does help that bikes now have lower gears without sacrificing higher ones. Merckx rode up mountain passes with a 5 speed cluster- and I doubt he had anything less than a 42x24. See how exhausted you'd be going up Mont Ventoux with that, lol.

  Times have changed, Bart Wellens, and it's only natural and makes total sense that riders like Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel's primary focus is on their road careers. It has absolutely nothing to do with doing a 'disservice' to the UCI.

  Bad for us, good for them, indifferent for newcomers. When a bank offers you 50 to open an account is that good or bad? Good for you, bad for existing clients paying for it who received nothing when they joined, indifferent for future new clients who might get 100.
