What about the "seat tuck", "superman" and the famed "back down"?
Well, the Super Tuck is undoubtedly the least stupid of these. I think I'd try the Superman before the Seat Tuck (wtf? seriously) and I don't even know what the "Back Down" guy is thinking he's doing.
Isn't Nibali the "back down" guy?
It's not for safety reasons. It better not. It's for pure aesthetic reasons, and all the better for it. Any proper cycling connaisseur can't have this ridiculous style take hold. People who want to do this should stay on Zwift.
Apparently, and Seat Tuck is some guy named Pantani or whatever (so maybe I'm the idiot for calling it stupid), but why the hell is he grabbing the seat stay between his legs? I'm scared for his fingers just looking at the picture.
edit: looking closer I am an idiot, that's his leg.

Is this one of those situations where riders, teams, etc unanimously accept the proposal because nobody cares to actually read the whole thing and then they start complaining about how unfair the UCI is?
Kind of, yes. It seems like CPA requested this back in october (It's in the first document) and UCI approved it in december. So cry season is a bit late this year.
Gilbert unhappy that only he and Trentin showed up for rider safety meeting

Two pornstars and a clown.I tend to think, it's more bout this:
And this:
That was my understanding of the proposal when this was in the news about 4 weeks ago.I'm with the rest that think this is ridiculous. Now I would be fine with banning pedaling in the super tuck, but not the super tuck it's self.
Poor Nibbles.That was my understanding of the proposal when this was in the news about 4 weeks ago.
Given the UCI's history on framing and applying rules, it would be interesting to see just how they legislate on this: "can't ride with perineum lower than nose of saddle"?
