UCI's Last-Minute Ban Forces Riders to Scramble for Second-Hand Shoes
TL;DR
The UCI issued a last-minute ban preventing the Nice Métropole Côte d'Azur cycling team from using a new pedal prototype just one hour before the race, leading to a scramble as riders were forced to borrow or buy second-hand shoes due to the pedals' proprietary nature. The ban was reportedly due to a paperwork technicality, as the authorization file for the prototype had not been validated by the UCI.
