Why was she wearing it if it wasn’t collecting data? What are the exact words the UCI uses? Does this thing collect data and store it for upload later or does it require a live phone connection to store it? I have a hard time understanding why she was wearing it if she wasn’t collecting data? Or is the confusion around live viewing of the data?
I feel like that press release for SS is BS and as a woman, kinda buggered that women’s menstrual cycles are being used as a defense for something like this. There’s a whole peloton of women and none of them (that we know of) are claiming they needed to record this for their cycles and health. Just a crappy statement IMO. Own it - you wanted the data. Don’t claim that women have some extra sensitive health need. Men also need glucose to survive and function etc. Besides, it’s a rule violation. Argue with the UCI that you want women to be able to monitor their “health” extra closely during a race for this reason if that’s the case you’re making. And really… all of the data on this that you could collect during training should suffice.
