If it were not for UCsillyI rules, TTers in bike races would be in completely different positions. Of that you can be sure.I'm curious how you think they'd be completely different...?
The TTers would have body positions much like very fast triathletes, at least for their respective distances.
In other words, a 40km TTer, if he/she were unconstrained by UCsillyI rules, would have a position much like a very fast 40K triathlete (assuming that the rules would be equally unconstrained on bike geometry too, of course).
I think you're overstating the effect of UCI rules. I've never thought it was that big of a deal, particularly once the "morphological exemption" is taken into account.
Since the OP mentioned Rohan here he is. Explain how his position would be "completely different" if he didn't have to follow UCI rules:
