I think racing is more sterile than it was - and I think radios are part of that. It's true that the DS has always communicated with the rider but not in such an immediate and continuous way. Ban radios and let's see what happens - if the racing doesn't improve or it gets worse well then we can always go back can't we. The conservative ones are those that refuse to experiment.
