Sram moving forward with it's lawsuit against the UCI
https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-gear/uci-takes-another-knock-as-sram-initiates-legal-proceedings/
Apparently unable to get the UCI to come to the table.
I find this rationale:
"SRAM currently offers no cassettes that are feasible and, according to
the company, rCLA compliant alternative would require a complete redesign, estimated to take years, significantly impacting SRAMrCOs ability to
compete in racing and the broader cycling market.rCY"
to be a sketchy at best. It won't take years to come up with a new
cassette - that's ridiculous. I do understand the broader complaint that this affects their position in the marketplace, for no reason that has
any verifiable metric - "show how more accidents occur at higher
speeds". That's a tough sell.

Yup a cassette with a 11t wouldnrCOt be much, though while I can see that higher speeds potentially reduce reaction times, and add energy to the impact.
IrCOm not aware that this has increased the rate or severity of crashes.

sprints (Dylan Groenewegen/Fabio Jakobsen 2020 tour of poland) the
majority of serious accidents and deaths occur on high-speed descents.
While it might seem a 10 tooth cog would exacerbate that, it isn't
really a factor once you spin out.
