Tom Pidcock has given his opinion on the UCI's push to improve safety by limiting speeds through introducing gear limits and imposing a minimum handlebar width, saying that cycling instead "needs to talk about the important issues."
Back in June, news emerged that the sport’s governing body is set to announce a foray of new technical regulations in January 2026. These include limits on maximum gear ratios, adjustments to its preexisting handlebar width rules, new limits on wheel depth, as well as new rules on fork and seatstay width.
