Maybe I'm being too simplistic, and I hope I don't upset anyone, but in the end these are BICYCLE records.
I can get my head around drafting/non drafting etc.
BUT ... why can't the people overseeing (?) all of this get that a recumbent is not a bicycle as usually (or UCI etc as the world body) defined.
Nothing against recumbents, but they do offer a significant advantage, especially when routes are carefully planned. I can't turn up at my local time trial and compete on a recumbent (unless there is a specific class), and I can't road race on one, but it appears that I can attempt some records on one, as things now stand.
There is an end to end record for bicycles, and another one for recumbents. That makes sense, at least to me.
