I will be surprised if this thread gets lots of comments. Mine? I agree with the author that they ought to ban race radios. Power meters are useful adjuncts to the radios.
Every team should ride exactly the same brand and model of bike with exactly the same components adjusted for rider height
Let Sram, Shi(t)mano, Campagnolo and Micro Shift bid for the right to outfit the bikes.
After all it is about the best athlete not the best bike
“I will be surprised if this thread gets lots of comments.”
The usual suspects, A few riders and a few spandex haters.
Lack of radios might make more breakaways successful (you won’t be able to do the catch in the last 500m as easily). The meters I just see as a way to track your progress (and point out why you’re thrashed the next morning) that can be paired to a HRM that keeps a record. IMHO.
