Would that be like the strange stuff one American golfer used to wear a few years back? Payne or something similar? Really bizarre kit, I can only suppose he was paid a lot by a manufacturer to use it so they could flog the stuff to other mugs?

Inevitable really. Too much manufacturer momentum behind it and a ban based on a speculative account. Wonder if the Sportive ban will go too, probably not. So fugly discs back in the peloton, Netty will be pleased.

I presume they don't race with the potatoes and the potatoes aren't King Eddy's

Owen Doull maintains that his shoe was sliced through by Kittel's disc yesterday. Could have been a lot worse, if you accept the explanation.

Another disc unrelated injury.

Another credible explanation for his cut is a spoke but I fear confirmation bias has set in.
