When sprinting for the finish line, the only option I have for “eyeing the competition” is to monitor the rider list & watch both the secs. ahead / back & the w/kg of the fellow Race riders. If there was an app button that you could select & have a split screen of the rider in the list ahead / back of you, you could race more effectively.
Another benefit of this would be when you are riding and switch to view another rider. Your view could drop to the PIP whilst the other rider appears in the main section. Then to return to yourself, just click on the PIP.
