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.

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?
