Interesting take. Appreciate the thought process behind it.
However, I’m definitely voting no on support vehicles. Part of racing is being prepared, and the bottom line is it’s irresponsible and reckless not to carry a flat kit, simply hoping you won’t get a flat (or not knowing how to change a flat.) That’s part of the responsibility involved with racing as an individual athlete.
It’s not a World Tour cycling event with completely different dynamics. It’s a triathlon and a solo sport. Take care of yourself, regardless of whether you’re an age grouper or a pro.
We're not all going to agree and I respect that you like how it is and has been. I'd love to see the sport and pro racing evolve like it can. And like so many other sports do.

Always, diverse opinions are good. 👍🏻
