Yes. The point is to see who is the best cyclist, not to see who can come up with the most clever biological hack to give themselves an edge.

- hn_throwaway_99 2y agoEvery single world class athlete spends most of their waking hours coming up with the most clever "biological hacks" to give themselves an edge. Training regimens, diets, rest and recovery schedules, equipment, sports psychology support, etc. etc. all are optimized to the nth degree to give athletes an edge.
- beAbU 2y agoI think you are missing the point of pro cycling to be honest. As other commenters have said, the very purpose of this all is to see who can cheat in a way that's not outright illegal. We are at a point of such peak human performance and conditioning that if you bring in equalisers such as the same bike for everyone etc, you'll just have a whole peloton crossing the finish line at the same time.
