“RicoudJour” posted the following to rec.bicycles.racing in a thread about whether rider radios should be allowed in bike racing or not (links and tilde added):

I think that all riders should be given Ipods each morning, preferably playing the immortal John Tesh’s “Tour de France” on endless loop. There would be two disguised Ipods given out at random. One would play a 70’s porn soundtrack dubbed by Ivan Basso’s sister breathily exhorting the rider to greater efforts with a smattering of cycling terminology thrown in. The other would be an actual race radio with all communications being relayed by the guy who does those totally unintelligible station announcements on subways.

Oh, and there should be a piñata hanging from the 1 km arch.

The piñata is a nice touch.
