Passing thought, but I notice that both the men's and women's Olympic road races may have benefitted from the lack of radios. Curious what y'all think. Seems that the course design set things up for sprint finishes, but breakaways got away and stayed away.
Seems maybe the main reason in the men's race was the smaller team size, and teams who are used to controlling couldn't, but I can help but think the lack of radios played a part in it. Not constantly knowing what the gaps were, confusion about who exactly was in the break, at least for a while, etc.
Your thoughts?
