無線にかんする会話
以下は、６日朝おきたらHTCのマルコ・ピノッティとジャーナリストのシェーン・ストークスとのやりとりが目に付いたので彼らの意見についてはコメント保留でとりあえず貼っておく。
Before World tour calendar starts, who is in favor of radio ban, did you really noticed a change in race tactics or outcomes ?
marcopinotti
The race is done by riders, with their legs and heads. Not team director from the car. Just my 2 cents
marcopinotti
@marcopinotti Marco, do you favour radio information going from organisers to the riders for safety announcements?

@marcopinotti or do you mean that radios should be allowed, and that they don't influence tactics?Shane Stokes cycling
SSbike
@SSbike even if I perdonally like it w/o radios I'm for the second one. Radio from organizers won't let you repair from bad luck
marcopinotti
@SSbike no change in tactics, but bad luck in wrong moment & u can say adios to your chances. Even if I reckon this is part of the game
marcopinotti
@SSbike anyway I am just saying I see no real changes, so I don't see the point of fighting on this issue. Or do u think it changed smthing?
marcopinotti
@marcopinotti not sure- you'll know better if it has or hasn't! I could understand the reason why the UCI said they wanted to change itShane Stokes cycling
SSbike
@marcopinotti but of course they have to be able to show it does have the desired effect. I don't like the way it has been done, and thatShane Stokes cycling
SSbike
@marcopinotti no alternatives have been publicly considered to protect riders (one way radios, radio Tour, etc). No wonder there areShane Stokes cycling
SSbike
@marcopinotti protests and people unhappy. For me, total radio ban has more negative than positive consequencesShane Stokes cycling

ピノッティ先生：無線を禁止してもレース戦略は変らない.もともとレースは監督たちではなく選手の足と頭でやるもの。重要な局面でのトラブルはオフィシャルからの一方的な無線連絡ではとりもどせないと思う。無線禁止で特になにも変ってないので論争するポイントが見えない。
Storkes氏：UCIは狙いが効果をあげていることを示す必要がある、これまでのやり方は好ましいと思わない。全面禁止する以外の代替案について正式に検討されていない。全面禁止はメリットよりデメリットが大きいように思う
