Lance Armstrong on the Radio Ban

Then we can just ride with woolen jerseys and a tire around our necks, like in the old days.

And this is a problem?

I suspect that most riders, while giving lip service to the potential safety issues with the ban (which, of course, are mostly unwarranted since they still have race radio in their ears), know that without communication with their DS, have to be more alert to what is happening, and make make tactical decisions on the fly.
