Though it appears the sanctions aren't pulling any fast ones this year, we've heard rumors that Shorts with Shinpads might be allowed. UCI managed to thwart off the threat of skin suits but this one looks like it has some support. First it was clips, then paved corners, smoother tracks, slick tires… and now shorts and shinpads.

Is it right for BMX Racing or does it really matter? Bicycle Roadocross is here. Head to the polls >>
