A clear-cut case for allowing the riders to have TV screens on their bikes so they're in contact with what's going on around them. If Tommy had been able to see that other (and clearly unhinged, given he'd already been off the road twice) bloke from the breakaway go off the road into that parking space, he'd have known that when he came past there a few minutes later he needed to be a bit careful. It's simply a safety issue, just common sense.

Yeah that would make the peloton a much safer place.

I think so. Obviously, you couldn't have a full widescreen plasma thing or you wouldn't see where you're going. Or maybe you could, and have a forward-facing camera so you could have the road in the middle, live feeds from the break etc on the left, and Sesame Street or donkey porn (depending on individual preference) on the right.

That sounds like the sort of thing that could catch on in sportive's, as long as the price was high enough.

sporTiVe, geddit?

Although I think the showing of Sesame Street may be a little high brow for most of them.
