>New rule on restricted gear ratios to be tested at Tour of Guangxi
>The UCI have announced restricted gear ratios will be tested at the season closing WorldTour race in late October. They have also claimed their analysis reveals rider error as the leading cause for in-race incidents.
>During the proposed test, the maximum permissible gear ratio will be a 54x11, which would take the bike 10.46m with one crank revolution. This move is designed to restrict overall race speeds, which it is believed contributes to the rash of accidents and injuries and have been increasing in recent years.
