  1. Final climbs of 5km or more are no longer exempt. The teams are not
    happy - UCI said that it had not been a problem so far, but others
    pointed out that a 7km climb in February is slightly different from a
    20km climb in July.

    ISTR Graham Watson bemoaning the advent of sunglasses because it hid the
    cyclists' expressions. Wonder what he thinks about h*lmets, which make
    all of the team members look identical?

    It's one of the reasons I don't do road racing. That and the horrible
    pile-up I saw in a 3rds/juniors race once.

    I don't do road racing because I don't like the thought of people laughing
    at me 😉

    Well, there's that too.

    At least in TTing you can adopt the thousand-yard stare and, provided
    no-one passes you at that instant, bystanders might think you're going
    quite fast.
