It is still a few months away, but I'm excited about the Tour de France with its change in route - three days in Italy (starting in Florence) and ending in Nice instead of Paris.
AI has been creeping into professional cycling for years. Here’s how a United Arab Emirates team is gambling that the tech will uncover an unseen dimension of performance. Outside Magazine reports. https://flip.it/lXAW4X #AI#Tech#TourdeFrance#ArtificialIntelligence
