Will every PT race end in a bunch gallop this year?

Certainly looks like it. I propose that If a race finishes in a field
sprint, they should declare it a draw,
and make them do it again.

Well I don't think a sprinter would like to have to re race just
because of a bunch finish.

After watching the Tour Down Under maybe they should get rid of the
radios.
Either
1. Remove them from the Directors cars as the maths on how fast to
reel in a break away is mind numbingly boring.
2. Only allow one way communication back to the team car (e.g. I've
got a flat, etc)
3. Completely remove them from the riders ears so as to bring out some
race nouse.

Or even stop the time checks, that might be going a bit overboard
though.

The whole live television in a car and radio communication really
makes it dull for racing. Climbing races really would not be affected
but something flat with a bunch sprint might actually become half
interesting if an escape group can get away and when they're reeled
in, another attack goes. Notice how the attacks go down straight after
the break away bunch is caught with 5km to go?

Magilla? your one sided, vitriolic and sardonic thoughts on this? P.S.
I think you're the greatest cycling commentator ever to live. FACT.

Also, make them ride steel bikes and only drink two water bottles a
stage.

On a serious note

Pro cycling's loss of credibility can be traced back to the 1979
TdF when team Miko-Mercier installed a hub with a 7 cog
freewheel on Joop Zoetemelk bike for stage 13 Metz-
d'Alsace.

Later it was proved more of just a gimmick when Hinault riding
the standard 6 cog on stage 15 Evian-Morzine TT did it
to Joop.
