UCI are clamping down

The UCI are bringing in stringent new rules for next season. Good to see they are getting tough.

Here is one of them .


Here’s what the sock rules say: “Socks and overshoes used in competition may not rise above the height defined by half the distance between the middle of the lateral malleolus and the middle of the fibula head.” :0}

 

Not before time!

Sloppy sockage was really starting to detract from the Tours.

Once they’ve got that sorted, then maybe they can start addressing the small stuff like team finacing, rider’s wages and drug cheats.

 

Could we have a diagram please?

 

Where is this Lateral Malleolus place? Is it near Mexico?

 

Could you use Lateral Malleolus in a sentence, please?

 

Sorry not at the moment I'm trying to give them up!

 

I didn't think it was a new rule,more enforcing it ?

 

So hemlines are down this season.

 

I hope we see no more of shoddy zips

 

Please refer to OP for this.

 

What about scarves, is my Dr Who one now banned?

 

Yes, but I'm afraid it's too dangerous to go there - full of drugs cartels, I'm told

 

Long socks look stupid. Excellent rule. Froomy will need to renew his sock drawer.

 

Does a longer sock reduce drag ?
