And now we see no race ranger being used.

Might this be why Pto never called penalties with it?

Did IM basically say, if we can't trust this thing why are we using it?

There's just no way this tech won't require a lot of kinks to work out. And you can't do that without using it in races. So I'm wondering what really went down with not using it. Wouldn't RR still want the trial run experience for learning. Or is the data really just garbage in a tight field like CA. I could see the 12m zone on narrow roads causing some issues.

So for the record:

1. Ironman says Race Ranger is interesting, but thanks but no thanks.
2. Athletes and commentators moan that we really really need Race Ranger.
3. Ironman adopts it and the limited availability of the product or cost necessitates excluding some big name pros from Oceanside.
4. Athletes and pundits wonder if Race Ranger will actually make drafting more potent by allowing Athletes more time in the comfort zone without risking penalty.
4. Ironman cancels Race Ranger for bugs or other issues.

So once again we see pro athletes scored an own goal here on multiple levels for something that turns out isn't ready.
