Illegal. I was there as a ref (my first time) and we just missed it. We didn't have start sheets from the registration and were rushed trying to get the race started on time. We even had the promoter help us out on the start line taking names. 50 riders in the Cat5 race that day. Over the line it was tough enough to ID numbers since almost everyone had them pinned on incorrectly, much less look for illegal equipment. I'm glad there was not an incident because of it.

As far as I know, we missed just the one rider in the Cat5. The other aerobar riders you saw were participating in the charity metric, where it's not good form, but not illegal.

How'd you do? The son of that father/son BBC Tues night duo came in second [as a junior] in his first race ever.
