Is this correct? The UCI rules have limited grand tours to no more than
3500 km total (and all but two stages to no more than 225 km each) at
least for the past five years.

I believe the UCI discussed it, but it was never implemented.

The rule has been in that form in the UCI rule book since January 2002
(2.6.011). Is my copy missing an appendix listing the rules one may ignore?
