Definitely only a small part of the risk but ceteris paribus and all that.

It bothers me that the authors don’t seriously address the inconsistency between their data and the conventional wisdom. They acknowledge it but leave it rather unresolved. As you say, that leaves the question of whether we can trust the causal interpretation.

“One of the UCI’s best rules” is a low bar these days!

Without reading through the paper i’d guess they have only accounted for a small portion of the risk. The rule change allows for the risk of time loss, but still does not allow for the risk of injury from crashing. For the majority of riders, staying close to the front and not crashing is their first concern, with time loss less of a concern. Perhaps an increase in road furniture is the reason for the increase in crashes.

The worst part is this was seen as one of the UCI’s best rule introductions, i wonder what effect some of the others have.
