I'm not really interested in tech that can't be transferred out of the event, so it always bothers me that these events throw the baby out with the bath-water when they demand either pure traditionalism or alternately allow insanely impractical things like fairings.
I'd love to see some kind of event that accomodates the challenges of real-life like wind and traffic, but still allows experimentation with bleeding-edge tech.

You can standardize a course, but how to standardize the rider to be similar to an average person? Perhaps a special pedal that measures or constrains the rider's power output.
