Not the person you responded to, but there are a number of changes they have banned, arguably for being too effective. Aerodynamic covers are not usable, recumbents are not usable (especially not ones with a cover, which are significantly faster). I mean, I kinda get it, it's a traditional upright bicycle race where they want the human factor to dominate. But somewhere in there's a ~65% performance improvement they are leaving on the table (that is the difference in the "1 hour distance record" between traditional and fully faired recumbents).
