Do you guys think this is a good thing? Earpiece radios After a thorough reflection on the subject of the use of earpiece radios in races, the UCI Management Committee decided during its meeting in Lugano (Switzerland) on 23rd September to forbid gradually the use of earpiece radios for all categories of rider. This decision has been taken on the basis of a very careful study, in particular taking into account the will of the majority of those involved in cycling. We would remind you that this ban is already in place for the Junior and Under-23 categories. The ban will be gradually introduced in accordance with a timetable, the first stage of which will be: ? 2010 season: ban for Men Elite and Women Elite Class 2 events of the UCI international calendar, events of the national calendar as well as the UCI World Championships We are therefore asking you to take the necessary steps so that you can implement this measure of ban at all national races registered on the national calendar of your Federation. We are also relying on you to inform your club teams, your national commissaires and other licence-holders.
