Eric Boyer, the general manager of the Cofidis team, has proposed new ideas in the discussion over the banning of radio communication at UCI races. The suppression of race radio has caused a stir at the first 2011 Cat 1 and HC events, with many teams against the new UCI rules for safety reasons. However supporters argue that race scenarios will likely be more open without the earpieces, creating greater spectacle for the fans.
