But it is quite unclear what criteria they use to determine the safety of such a position. It would be interesting to develop some bicycle models with different rider (aero) positions and rider-bicycle connections and determine if there is any effect on the open loop stability. Extending to closed loop could be interesting too, but we need a decent control model for these odd positions, which is likely different than normal positions.
Description
The UCI banned the "super tuck" position claiming that it was unsafe:
