they don't use spot tracker now.
Yeah but I used to bring my own SPOT anyway.
I fucked that off, as you know, they were shitty.
If I was to buy another one, I'd get an InReach Mini I reckon.

What's shitty about them? I've never had any issues, used to use it a lot so people knew where I was when out training.
Alternative point of view is the roads in Austria and Northern Italy were the worst I experienced. I do think unridable parcours are pointless, I just saw them as a literal walk in the park.

They used GSM trackers this year, so yes. And then it's not real SOS, just sends a text to pre determined number.
@hippy they don't use spot tracker now.
I own a spot and inreach both with GEOS SOS. Essentially if I hit SOS the GEOS control room will move heaven and earth to come rescue me and won't stop still they get to me. I really would t race without it. A small cost for peace of mind.
