It kinda makes sense, though. There's no permits, no staffing, no outdoor venues or streets to block off-- and you needn't worry about the weather.
It's also a more level playing field (at least for now) where the genetic freaks are out there on real bikes in the real world, and comparatively normal cyclists can compete virtually.
Which is to say, I get it. I don't wanna do it, but I understand the attraction.
