Cycling about to get really fast

See if anyone will bite.
It occurred to me while busting my fat butt up Redwood road, but I think professional cycling is about to get even faster, without doping.
2 factors for this:
1. Youth training with power. U-23 riders now have access to power training and tools. A much more efficient and informative way to train in aggregate.
2. Bike technology will only get lighter and stiffer. The 30 BB is one case in point. As manufactures adopt technology that allows for greater options in design we will see bike weights drop yet be stiffer than current bike. At some points UCI will have to adopt the current technology.

Give it 5 -7 years and we will see some really faster Tour times without doping.
