Massive controversy at the Delamere World Cup

The Spanish are up in arms over the UCI's decision to prevent the entire team from riding this round of the world cup. The decision was made as a result of the fact that one of the Spanish team bikes did not meet the new, on-the-spot regulations imposed by the UCI.
The bicycle itself was designed by the late Fabio Foccachi and handbuilt in Milan, and has been rumoured to cost as much as £250. Whilst the riding position is unorthadox, the UCI claim that it is the use of the new material steel rather than the traditional bamboo that is causing consternation. No team representatives were available for comment.
