The UCI is really ****ed up. New technologies, regardless of their
actual value, drive interest in the sport, bring in new sponsors, and
keep the bike industry healthy. Every fatty master I know spends gobs
of money on this ****. If there isn't a racing outlet for it, it goes
away.

That's right, as a fully fledged fattie it annoys me that I have to put
a clunky round bottle on my sexy road bike instead of a streamlined aero
one.

The UCI is in a contest with the FIS to see who can **** up their
sport the most... So far though FIS is winning with its limit on
turning radius.
