I don't know, it's almost become tradition for you to post something that has already been reported.

But preferably Yes.
Johan will use this probally to present some sort of case to the ASO, knowing him.

it will make races more unpredictable and less controlled. The riders will have to rely on their own tactics instead. |

There is always some risk involved in cycling, but I don't think it would be much more dangerous, it's just a poor excuse. |

My alternative is..
Have a radio for Safety, possibly provided by the organisers, but no tactical radios.

I think race organisers should be the ones to decide if it is possible or not to use radios in their races... in the end it has its pros and cons so it should be a race caracteristic and not a global rule!

Actually I wouldn't like to see him ride a GT this year. A neo-pro that rode the Tirreno Adriatico, Vuelta al Pais Vasco, MSR, Tour of Flanders, P-R, LBL, Fleche W., AGR and the Tour of Suisse and still managed to win the 4 days of Dunkerque this year. Adding a GT on top of that would be too much.

That shows how much he's progressed. At the start of the season Unzué was guaranteeing that he wouldn't do any GTs this season.
I wouldn't like to see him there, he's a neo-pro. He shouldn't be doing Grand Tours.
