All lycra-elastane based tight-fitting clo
thing is not permitted.
4.3.012 A full-face helmet must be worn properly b
oth when racing and when training on the
course. The helmet must be fitted with a visor. Ope
n-face helmets may not be worn
I wonder how tight is tight? Has any rider tried to push that with less baggy
or more slim clothes? I think it makes total sense to ban tight clothing that
offers no crash protection. Makes it equal for all. If the riders follow that
spirit too and not try and use some "cheater" outfits that is good too. In
skiing they have plumbed suits that have a button permanently to the suit to
indicate that it meats the standards. They you hear of the Tina Maze who
allegedly wore some kind of impermeable underwear underneath her suit for
extra speed. That gets stupid.
