I started watching cycling a couple of years ago and honestly find myself fast forwarding though most of it. Now in a in a industry where bicycles are so “high” tech that they cost as mush as a high performance 600cc sport bike, I think we really need to get with the times and update how the media covers the tour. I would like to find some middle ground between were we are now and coverage that includes the following. I also understand that some of these items will have issues in the mountains but IMO it’s sad when NASCAR has higher tech coverage than cycling.
More speed coverage Grade GPS tracking of the riders Computer generated maps that track the cyclist and can be used by the announcers for predictions. Power Heart Rate Helmet cams
I think it would be great to see how many WATTs a break way is averaging as compared to the teams chasing them, I can’t be the only one who wants to see how much power the sprinters are putting down. Yes I know some riders will not like the extra gear but I have things at work I don’t like too. I also don’t mind if they have to delay coverage in order to put this together.
