Personal Team Bots
TrainingPeaks Virtual bots with their AI are quite remarkable. A completely new way to exploit those bots would be "personal team bots", i.e. the possibility of a human rider to have his own team of bots. Those team bots should work with their human team leader in different ways - not only as the tempo making domestiques, some should maybe sprinters or puncheurs and so on. So in certain cases human rider can actually work for one of his bots too. Also there should be a way to send commands to them or put the bot to a certain training program.

These team bots could be very useful also in Team Time Trials.

Yes I really like this idea. It would also be good to get them to do a lead out for example.
