Reminder about handlebars extensions It is kindly reminded that during Track events, the Commissaires will strictly apply the articles 1.3.002 and 1.3.023 regarding modification applied to equipment and extensions measurements. The spirit of the regulation, and as explained in the "Clarification Guide of the UCI Technical Regulation", is that the 10cm measurement will be taken from a horizontal perspective of the elbow support. Thus, if the elbow support is tilted, the jig used to measure the difference in height between the elbow support points and the highest or lowest points of the extension (including levers) will be placed in the middle of the elbow rests.
