UCI relases statement on dropper posts
Following the widely covered use of a dropper post by Matej Mohoic during his victory at Milan San Remo, the UCI released a statement on 20 Mar, reminding everyone where they stand on the use of dropper seat posts:
The UCI Equipment Commission approved the use of dropper seat posts in road cycling competitions in 2014. Their use is subject to the minimum 5cm setback rule of article 1.3.013 of the UCI Regulations, i.e., when the dropper seat post is set to its highest or lowest setting, the saddle setback must be in full compliance with article 1.3.013.
The fact that dropper posts have only become a topic now is most certainly due to the ban on the super-tuck position in 2021. Is it likely we will see more dropper posts in road races? Let me know what you think in the comments below!
