Half of the sponsors would go away?

...which would simply open the floodgates for the ferret legging money. Hard money too - poems have been written for esteemed champs of the sport.

With no chain there'd be no freewheeling. Any friction would result in the cassette spinning in concert with the rear wheel--POE irrelevant.

True dat, my brainz not working anymore.

You have realized that UCI is all about PEDALING, or? The more you pedal the more supportive UCI is towards you. Road > XC > Enduro > DH
I wonder why the not sanction stationary bike races. There it is only about pedaling and nothing else that makes riding bikes remotely fun. If they would this would be their favorite discipline for sure.
