1. How much advantage does the wearing of 2-way radios give to a cyclist
Pro cycling used to be men and machine against everything, the weather, the courses and of course each other. It now seems to have lowered itself to school level. The cyclist is the pupil and the team manager tells then what to do, the initative has gone, brains have gone out of fashion.
2. How would previous winners of Grand Tours have faired with them?
Can you imagine in earlier years the likes of Merckx being told what to do, and have the continual pressure of someone shouting in your hours on end.
3. Finally, is it another form of cheating?
This one will open a can of worms. Radios give big advantages, banned substances give advantages, Therfore both should be allowed, or both banned.
