if the riders were organized and smart
which i think they were, the best way to get the radios back would be to ride a really slow stage. in the last km’s, race, where radios aren’t needed. everyone then believes radios don’t make a difference and then they’re back. voila. more effective than a formal protest.

These sprints are NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Cav won by two bike lengths. These sprints are just not even close anymore. It is official Bennati, Boonen and Freire just dont have the speed to keep up with these guys. I used to like sprints but these are officially boring. I don’t mind Cav but when there is no contest at all, there is no excitement involved.
