It's just a terrible rule, that is totally unworkable.
It's a nothing really.

It's a shit rule and there's no way to properly enforce it without going full UCI style with jigs and stuff on people's bikes before races.

I hope they do come up with a measurable, enforceable, alternative rule that has a similar end result (maybe saddle no further forward than vertical through BB AND extension no further than 50mm or 100mm from the front wheel roll-up test vertical wall). I don't think it's a good thing to allow the potential for position to differ so wildly from what's allowable by the UCI.

@ThomasdeGlynt
Can anyone clarify why people are so pleased the 3cm rule has been scrapped? (Asides from having to sell/buy bikes to fit rule) Does it mean you can now get further forward (and open hip angle) or is it an aerodynamic thing?
