This weekend's Tour of Flanders will see teams and riders brought even closer to fans and viewers at home when Leopard Trek, Quick Step, Omega Pharma-Lotto and Garmin-Cervélo will transmit interactions between team cars and riders during the race. Team cars will be equipped with cameras but in a bid to showcase race radio importance, viewers will be able to listen in live as the riders and team managers talk from within the bunch and the cars.
