Communication during the Tour de France is actually an important challenge, especially for the safety and efficiency of the race. Traditionally, drivers use radios to communicate with their team leaders and other members of the team. Here are some considerations and possible solutions to improve communication and make it safer:

### Current methods and their challenges:

1. **Funk devices**: Drivers often carry small radios to receive instructions and information from the team vehicle. However, this requires occasional viewing on the device.

Two. **Hand signals and calls**: This traditional method is still in use, but can be inefficient and uncertain at high speeds and in loud environments.

### Possible improvements:

1. **Heads-Up Display (HUD)**: One solution could be the integration of heads-up displays into the drivers’ helmets. These can project information such as instructions from the team leader, course or tactical hints directly into the field of view of the drivers without having to take the view from the road.

Two. **Smart Glasses**: Similar to HUDs, Smart Glasses could be used to project important information into the driver’s field of vision. This allows continuous connection and information flow without distraction.

3. **Improved radio communication**: Improving radios with voice control and clearer audio quality can help drivers keep their hands on the handlebar and their eyes on the street. Technologies such as noise dancing could also be used for clearer communication.

4. **Vibration feedback**: A system that uses haptic feedback (vibrations) to alert drivers to important messages could be developed. Drivers could learn different vibration patterns that provide different information, so they are not dependent on visual or auditory signals.

Five. **Team apps and wearables**: Special apps and portable devices (Wearables) could be developed that make communication more efficient and safer. These could exchange data in real time and provide important information about vibrations or small displays.

### Conclusion

While traditional methods of communication work in the Tour de France, there is certainly room for innovations that could improve safety and efficiency. Technologies such as heads-up displays, smart glasses, improved radios and haptic feedback provide interesting approaches to optimize communication without distracting drivers. Such solutions could play an important role in cycling in the future.

I don’t know what they’re talking about. But sometimes such a dialogue is also published. And honestly, I always think, “How banal can you be.” Often the sports director says: “You do well, you do very well, keep it up. You can do this, stop the pace.” and I think then; “Well, the driver knows that.”

I’ve never read exciting novelties. Too bad. I find it more exciting when it comes to: “The Vingegaard is at the limit. Do you see the rocks in front of you? There you go!”

That means I’ve read an exciting message: “I am gone, I dead” And then the answer: “Mark always withTadej. Adam for podium. Mark always with Tadej!” Gorge… But hopefully this will never happen again.

Why do they have to? I think that’s a reflex.

So Tadej always does that when he does something. 😉 If I see this with him, then I think inevitably /happy JEtzt is coming the punch.
