The peloton will boycott the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour of Beijing over the race radio ban, according to the Belgian media. The ProTeams have unanimously sent a letter to Pat McQuaid, president of the International Cycling Union, announcing their intentions to boycott the📖 race, to be held October 5-9.

, the teams picked this race as “the crown jewel of the globalisation of cycling”. The race req✨uires extensive trav𝔍el by all the teams, and if the ban is not lifted, the team will simply stay home.

The radio ban has been a problem all season, with both the riders' association and the teams' association opposing it. Recently the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:UCI met with team representatives to hear their concerns, but did not alterಌ its ruling.

The first challenge this year came at the first race in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Challenge Mallorca, where the riders wore their radios in defiance of the UCI's ban. The UCI allowed the race to go on, but did not recognise the results. Plans to make another protest at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Omloop Het Nieuwsblad last month were called off at the last mi🅰nute amidst fears the race might be cancelled.

The UCI has banned the♎ use of race radios in all races ranked 1.HC/2.HC and below. It will be extended to cover World Calendar races in 2012.
