Bosses of the Tour de France, Giro D'Italia and many other big pro races have made the decision to reduce team sizes by a single rider per team. While this has been done in the interests of rider safety and increased excitement of races, some team bosses, as well as the UCI, are not in agreement. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

Elsewhere, we've got brand new pro kits in cycling shorts, an app that can choose the ideal saddle for you, and we have a bumper load of hacks and bodges.
