The UCI just passed a new bicycle weight rule. Instead of bicycles having to have a minimum weight of 6.8 kilograms, the minimum has now been raised to 7.5 kilograms so as to maintain a greater margin of structural safety. This means every cyclist who competed in a UCI sanctioned race since the 6.8 kilogram rule's inception has had his placing in any and all UCI events vacated. The UCI has stated that if they can ex post facto strip Lance Armstrong's placings even though he was under the control limits when tested constantly by WADA then they can now ex post facto strip everybody's placings whose bicycles didn't meet then new weight minimums. All the bicycle weights have been recorded and going back to check them is not a difficult matter.. -- Willy Free

How does adding a 0.7kg lead ballast weight to my existing bike improve its structural margin? You should have saved this for April 1st.
