Excuse the elementary question, but do the riders have contact with their teams regarding placement, speed, etc? (So they know when to chase an attack or not). I've seen some photos with earpieces in the rider's ears and im doubting if they're listening to the local french ditties. Just pondering. Way to Go Posties!!!

Yes, they are in constant radio contact with their teams.

Hey, some of the radios have more than one channel, so riders can switch from manager to exactly that!

And the team manager knows their heartrate, cadance, speed and when they need to go peepee all on his computer all of the time. "Lance sit down, your heartrate is 3 points high".

Techno rules..like it or not.
