We took away two important descending tools from the riders

  1. Supertuck
  2. Fake aero bars/puppy paws (i hate that term, carlton)

Do you think that riders would take less risk on turns if they could still do supertuck? Or would riders supertuck AND take big risks on hairpins?

Not blaming Mader or saying he took risks. But the incident made me think about risk management

    I think they’d still take risks, but that said, it’s always been my opinion that

    1. Supertuck is ok as long as hands remain in drops (not on tops) that way controls are still accesible
    2. invisible aero bars are ok if you’re on the front, certainly if you’re solo
