News bot Posted February 6, 2014 Share For the first time the 2014 Absa Cape Epic will have live tracking and monitoring of the 600 rider teams over the entire 8-day stage race. In a first-of-its-kind initiative, Tracker Business, leading fleet management and vehicle recovery solutions company, will deploy specially-developed lightweight tracking devices that deliver live rider information, such as speed and location. Tracker will also provide emergency and logistics vehicle tracking and intelligence for the duration of the race.

Riaanvt Posted February 6, 2014 Share Guess partners are going to have to manage their 2 minute gaps between each other a bit more carefully... There will only be 1 tracker per team as I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted February 6, 2014 Share Cant we get this for our bikes too so that our family can track us or trace a stolen bike? T-man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted February 6, 2014 Share I had this on my motorbike so surely a company can market this for cyclists as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicanZA Posted February 6, 2014 Share Who cares! Really not interested to watch a bunch of dots on my screen. Cycling is a sport u need to do, not so good to watch unless it's the short downhill stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stachelschwein Posted February 7, 2014 Share There will only be 1 tracker per team as I understand it. Thank goodness...managing that 2 minute gap can be painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
