Exactly. Unfortunately, the pro riders don't have much say in what they get to use. They are speaking up, at least the prez of their association is about a possible safety issue that could endanger their lives, and some ordinary Joes like you and I are moaning about them not keeping their mouths shut. I don't get it.
