Handy for knowing how close riders are to feedzones, but also for organisations running races with road closures with riders approaching dangerous corners, KOMS and finishes. <br /><br />From the point of view of spectators (where much of VRS races are followed only on twitter feeds) it would be fascinating to have a whole peleton being tracked, especially if they are all shown on one map, ala tour sbs tour tracker. With warnie having 300 riders it wouldve been fascinating viewing. Let alone all of the data from power meters etc which would be fascinating to chart and compare. <br /><br />Understand the SMS notifications could provide a real (illegal) advantage for example in handicaps finding time gaps between riders, but it could also at the same time provide improvements in safety for example if you have a race with multiple feedstations, you could hypothetically be informed where your swanny was in the feedzone to avoid hunting around (which is a common location and cause for crashes). <br /><br />Of course all completed illegal, so I wouldnt do it. <br /><br />Deryckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16209332379173947303noreply@blogger.com
