As i understand it- and as it was inforced all 2013-
*the saddle can be even with the BB(or behind) in sprint events ridden in drop handlebars (500/1K, Sprints, Keirin)
*the saddle must be at least 5cm behind the BB in Endurance events and/or any event ridden in aero bars..
the new restriction of enforcing a 5cm saddle set-back on kilo riders that use aero-bars is what has me and Babypuke all worked up..
Do you have some different information??
The commissaires at world masters all allowed me to ride with my saddle nose in line with the BB. Including in my pursuit. No one measured me 'biometrically' to ensure that a plumbline ran from the front of my knee, through the pedal spindle at 3 OClock (as it states in the UCI rules), and one of the commissaires mentioned that that had fallen away as the current take is that that the overall reach from back of saddle to front of pursuit bars couldn't be more than a certain length in total. So perhaps that's the factor for yourself and Babypuke? I haven't seen the actual written information though.
