    It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.

    This, from within the peloton. Quite a surprise. A perfectly reasoned article. A thoughtful fellow is Michael Barry . :D

    An interesting power struggle. The majority of teams want the radios but most other sections are against radios (UCI, fans, journalists, TV, race organisers). The riders are caught in the middle as usual.

    The DSs will be bored without radios or on board TVs...they will have to try and predict what will happen at pre race team meets, show tactical skill and that would definitely answer the question posed on the other thread yesterday about best DS
