I never said anything about being retro just standarised. Just make the playing field as level as possible for one stage within a race. I know you can't get rid of the drugs but level it off a little.
The biggest problem would be that for a sponsor it would be adventitious for their top man to do really badly on the standard bike so as to claim the bike took Mr average to Mr champion.
I'm not retro I'm an idealist in the fact that I would like to see one regular event that was more about the person than the technology.
I would never want to remove technology or to freeze it, the progression is important but it's nice to beable to have the odd event that is more raw.
