The Danish federation has just written on its homepage that riders with a height of 190 cm or more can get an additional 5 cm of distance to the end of the shifters, i.e. 85 cm in front of the BB. This should come from UCI and be effective from April 29th, 2014, i.e. this Tuesday.
Anyone heard anything about this? It seems really sudden and strange.
Yes. Send me your email address and I can forward you the UCI letter.
190cm riders get 85cm. I'm 189...

Wear taller shoes.
Do they describe how they will be measuring everyone's height?
Yes:
"It is the responsibility of the teams and the National Federations to provide the UCI Equipment Unit with the name and the
height of all the concerned riders enough in advance. If in doubt, the commissaires have the
right to conduct checks to verify the height of the riders. The same procedure applies to all
the World Cups, World Championships and Olympic Games track events"
I'm 189, Huizenga is 185, why does he get the same 80cm rule? I have the wingspan of a glider. I could ride comfortably at 92cm. 85 is tight.
No way I can find 12cm.
