No, it was just a little crack at the number of
Master's categories. Since there's a lot of categories,
there's going to be a lot of jerseys to be given to the
winners, and the UCI has to buy those jerseys. I rode
by three "Elite World Champions" yesterday (heh).
There may be even more awarded this year due to the events
popularity and deeper competition in the oldest mens and
womens categories (addition of a 60+ womens and 70+ mens
category is possible if recent years attendance trends
continue).
BTW - the blue/rainbow jerseys awarded at World Masters
Track (www.cyclingmasters.com) are provided and paid for by
the promoter, Brian Cossavela (IMPSPORT) - not the UCI.
AFAIK, the promoter of the World Masters road events in
Austria is in the same boat.
