The team will track the location of their own riders? Imagine that..It is. The UCI want to enforce this plan, but make the teams liable if something goes wrong.
From a sales and product angle, race fans would love a real time tracker.. To know where your favorite rider is, how far in front or behind, who is with them. And more technology emerging as fans hear announcements on race radio from multiple teams. Fans want onboard cameras and drones, they long to hear what Wout Van Aert is saying into his microphone..
Massive discussion of on skin sensors for glucose, body temps, perspiration, and breathing, heart rate.. All bio feedback fans would love to have access to..
The main thing that can go wrong with a tracking device is if it doesn't do tracking.. Rider goes off the road and dies as a result. That's not a made up scenario, it's actually happened.
