POLL: RACE RADIOS BAN

Last week, the UCI announced that its Management Committee granted an approval for earpieces to be banned on two stages of the Tour de France. Stage 10, a 193km stage from Limoges to Issoudun, held on Bastille Day, and Stage 13, 200km from Vittel to Colmar may be run without allowing riders to receive communications from their team cars over earpieces.

The debate over whether race radios take the life out of races by allowing riders to receive detailed information about the composition and time gaps of breakaways has been argued for years. Teams and riders have protested against any such ban, arguing that they make races safer by allowing directors to warn them of upcoming obstacles.

We want to hear from you - the fans - on whether race radios should be banned during two stages of this year's Tour de France. Voting ends on Monday, June 29 12:00 PM CET.
