@sevencats I'm assuming they have transponders, the least they can do is add a lap and interval timer between athletes. now there is really no way to tell who is in which position and the lap times they're doing. Would improve viewer experience a ton if they had that, instead, commentators are drip feeding laptimes and such.
@jonjones229 This is one of those events that could mess up the entire games for some of these athletes. It's only 40 minutes but those without much bike experience are going to be sore in spots they aren't used to being sore in.
