the Tour de France radio ban...
I hear that the TdF is banning radios next year. What do you guys think of this? At first, I thought it was a terrible idea. However, cycling is a technologically pure, and banning radios is a way to keep this purity. Of course you can use that logic to propose bans on certain bicycles, food supplements, and lycra. Cycling is evolving - thank God. Instead of fighting it, we should just embrace it... Cullen |

Go back to the 1920s rule: if you start a stage with a piece of equipment, you must finish the stage with that piece of equipment (including punctured tyres, empty water bottles, and even the water that was originally in those bottles ("don't let 'em see you sweat" as more than just advice)). Obviously you can change bicycles, but you have to carry the previous one with you regardless. Also team cars are filled with feral squirrels which have been stored in gunny sacks inside of tumble driers to rile 'em up. And Bobroll gets to choose one rider to tow him for the stage in a burly. With as many bottles of sham-pag-knee has he wants. |
