The UCI abandons plans to ban race radios in Friday's stage
Published: Jul. 16, 2009
The UCI, on Thursday reversed its controversial decision to ban race radios for Friday's stage 13.
"To put an end to the controversy which is compromising the running of the Tour de France, the International Cycling Union Management Committee has decided not to repeat the experiment of a stage without radio communication on Friday 17th July," it said in a statement.
Race radios were banned for the 10th stage of the race, a move which prompted 14 of the Tour's 20 teams to submit a petition in protest.
The UCI said it will "continue to consult" with those involved on the usage of radios during racing.
