One is tempted to write that UCI has become a parody of itself.
Well quite!
Sadly, this 'news' is a minor update to hubris of long standing.
As number of technical journalists such as DC rainmaker have noted, a
larger screen doesnrCOt make a device more distracting, are a number of features that if left on as is default can be annoying, much like my phones
I turn things like that off, one of the more longstanding annoyance the
virtual partner canrCOt be tuned off on the Edge 830 can on newer models.
Let alone that pro roadie are still very much weight watchers and thus ride with smaller devices, Hence lot of use of the Garmin MTB as itrCOs light and small in the Pro Peloton. Not the 1050 etc which is big old unit and
probably wouldnrCOt pass this rule, the Wahoo Ace definitely not!
They really arenrCOt making a great case for themselves at moment!
