UCI bans skinsuits :-(

[MJN]

a few years ago they banned overshoes in road racing due to unfair aerodynamics,pros still wear em!Who thinks up these rules

I
surely with all the body position changes and movement through absorbing bumps a skin suit cant make THAT much difference

I live fairly close to Mojo, they've done a fair amount of testing & basically you'd be amazed at how much faster skinsuits can be. espically on faster/longer/more exposed courses.

Usual UCI bunch of ar*e! Let us raise a glass to the rapid collapse of the one organisation on the globe who are trying to bring cycle development to a grinding halt across all bike formats. 'Here's to the end of the UCI!'

The UCI's handling of the mens BMX selection was nothing short of shocking. Selection races a couple of weeks before the Olympics causing our two best riders to crash and injure themselves? The actual rider who won the olympic spot didn't get selected...

Yeh that Leatt brace will be fine until it rips someones head off sideways, or they side impact a tree breaking their neck on the elbow.
