Bike racing just fell to the bottom of the credibility pile. The consequences
will touch all divisions of the sport via loss of sponsors. Upside for MTB is
it's tougher to hide the on/off switch without bar tape. There is a photo of
Femke at the Worlds in which it's clear she's running mechanical shift/brake
levers yet has an odd tape job on the RH drop under the shifter clamp - which
could be a button (similar to what Cancellara appears to thumbing in the video
above).
