No idea how they even managed to have races before radios. I guess they just rode around in circles till it got dark.

Exactly. Adjust your strategy. You radio isn't working. Adjust your strategy. You star quarterback broke his arm. Adjust your strategy.
Adjust your strategy
I don't give a flying about radios. I just think it's freaking hysterical that it took Horner to tell all that high priced talent that they might not want to sit around picking their noses. Calling Mancebo lucky is ridiculous. Calling Astana confused and panicked is just quoting their team leader.
Apparently the tactical genius's kryptonite is good old rain.
