The centerline rule should neutralize the field in terms of descending skills. I don’t think the best descenders will see as much benefit by having to use only half the road to descend tight turns at speed.
I have not ridden the course, I’m just going off memory of watching the descending at 70.3 WC in 2019. They were using the entire road to maximize the apexes of the curves.
