Default phones in peloton?

should cell phones on peloton must be prohibited?
yes or no?
i get bored to see programmized races with riders- robots to attack at the last kilometres and cover the andvandage just at the end.Uci must protect the sport to keep it in its classic bace.

Only the strong survive.

Nope, I reckon that if they're a team, they should work as a team. And since they can't always communicate, the radios bring the team together.

If it's so predictable, why don't the races always end in a bunch sprint?

I dont think its a bad thing, it makes things exiting and statigic, its not boring because if a team tries something there are plenty of other teams to conter with their own stratagy.

Amatuer racing can be very predictable though, iv been to races by one club. The club has the majority of the riders and dictate the race totally because of it. That is not exiting and rather anoying!!
