Hi Shelly,
It is a very tiny browband with a transponder attached. there are captors at the finish line, vet-in and vet-recheck. Nice tool, immediate timekeeping.
Meri : Which system did they use in Kentucky? I heard the UAE riders and the 2 spanish riders had a GPS and the progress of each rider could be followed on the VIP tent at the venue. Did you see it?

browband and throatlatch - a GPS? I keep seeing these in the pictures of =
the rides in Europe.
