that's very odd because the paragraph above that quotes Bjarne Riis:
... citing safety concerns. "If thirty riders go down in the finale of a stage, there can be a big panic, a lot of sports directors want to get to the front because they don't know if their rider has crashed or not - then the riders would be inside the car caravan, and risk collision with the team cars. We would have a huge problem."
so perhaps the information from the radio channel would not be as up-to-date compared to if the riders were in direct communication with their DS?
