Ahh, but they added the weight division at the lower weight scale! Go figure
that those featherweights were complaining it was hard to beat those light
weights, and needed their own weight class. LOL

They added the name at the bottom, but look at how the division boundaries
changed, and you'll see it mainly benefited the heaviest riders (who already
were the smallest division).  I used to ride middleweight, now I'm heavier and I
ride lightweight.

I keep waiting for them to add yet another division...Super heavyweight. Oh,
wait, that would be "super fluffy, right? :-o

Some people have been proposing a "Super Heavyweight" division for years.  It
would be great for them, only one or two riders each ride in their division
would make for a lot of "Firsts."
