Although I initially dismissed the idea as a gimmick on other cycling platforms, the ability to make your avatar display emotes has actually proved to be quite a powerful tool and allows for immediate communication of feeling/strategy without the need for a keyboard or voice chat.

Would it be possible to add a selection of emotes (wave, tired, take a turn, well done, celebrate etc) that your avatar can perform during a ride?

Thanks.

Please also enable the bots to respond to these gestures with their performances.

Some phenotypes will be more compliant than others depending on the course and their current fitness 👍🏻

Adding avatar gestures would improve in-ride communication and make interactions with other riders more engaging. The top three gestures that come to mind are an elbow flick gesture to signal drafting riders to pass, a friendly wave, and a victory celebration.

To clarify, this would allow the rider to cause their avatar to perform an elbow flick gesture to signal following riders to pass
