Maybe it's because I mainly compete on rolling/hilly courses, but why remove the extra gearing option?
I'll give single chainrings a go if/when we get either 13/14 speed cassettes or 10t cassette rings, so that I can replicate my current gearing range without sacrificing shift smoothness.
I'm with you on that. You lose 10 watts from cross chaining to the big cog in the rear. This loss of drive train efficiency was brought up a few months back in a different thread.
A false humanity is used to impose its opposite, by people whose cruelty is equalled only by their arrogance
