I hear there's even newer technology just over the horizon. It's like a telephone but without wires.
You obviously have no clue about what you're talking..um, about
I remember the days before race radios...
no mass crashes at the Tour; there were never EVER pack finishes in the stages--breakaways ALWAYS succeeded;
cycling was more exciting, and we KNOW this because cycling was far more popular in many more countries than it is
today. Nowadays, with race radios, pro-cycling is limited to a few countries in western europe, unlike the non-radio halcyon
days where the excitement of pro cycling was a global phenomenon. Nope, now all we see are boring races caused by race
radios, mass crashes, caused by race radios. It's no wonder why pro-cycling is the least popular it has ever been all over the world!
