It's borderline insane. Each one of them has to have a special cutout in thier seat so they can sit on the bike normally with thier massive grapes.

They're not borderline insane, they're completely insane :-). The margin of error is so thin and the consequences so great. The really good guys are rarely even riding at 10/10ths, which is also amazing. It's sad when someone is killed, but I'm glad they still run the race. If freedom is to mean anything at all, it has to include the right to do stupid things.
