Interesting article:

Be interesting to see what they could pick up on suspension settings / PSI from image alone in the future for WC Downhill.

Will the AI swear like Rob though ?

Even Carlton Kirkby would be better than AI (can't believe I just thought that).

Nah, it would be no more interesting that 'watching' a football match on Teletext, okay a bit, but it's still all data and no emotion.

I'd rather Warner screaming himself silly "look at the time" Lawyers and cases, who's being doing what etc.

some of this year's XC racing definitely had a bit of "watch the break away race leader cruise through the easy bit" while the chasing pair puts 5 seconds into them and switch positions through the most interesting part of the course, completely unseen...

not sure how rider identification can help with this

Looks like a solution in search of a problem.

So I'd agree with keeping Warner for now, but maybe give it a trial in place of Claudio.

Just need it to be able to bang on about mud tyres for a whole race.
