8 yr old on Lightweights!
Got this off another site.
I want his dad to be my dad! Except I would have a talk with dad if he made me wear an Advantage II in a road race.
LOL.

That's my wife in the black hat, and nephew next to her.
My 6yo daughter is wearing pink and just her back is visible at the start line. She got 2nd.
I had just gone off with the U10 group (and my older son) to make sure they didn't miss any turns.

You know what's great about racing at that age. You don't have to shave your legs. Or train at 4:30am before work. 
Oh, and your pre race meal usually consist of milk and cookies, and possibly some Jello in cut into the shape of dinosaurs.

It really looks like there's DI2 on this bike aswell as the lightweight wheels and aerohelmet. I love this picture.

I don't think anybody there noticed the wheels. I didn't even notice the helmet until the photo.
I guess someone on the sidelines may have noticed. I was busy trying to keep three kids from starting at the wrong time (3 waves).
Feelings not so much hurt
Just fun to watch the kids enjoying the sport.
