I've gotten into mountain biking into 2020, specifically XCO Racing, which has a mass start. I've found myself watching quite a bit of bike races I never used to. What I love about on screen graphics is that it makes the race consumable for viewers that aren't hard core fans, or like me, new to the sport. Looking at sports popularity in the USA, I don't think it's a coincidence that viewership coincides with on screen graphics. NFL goes above and beyond what 'football' does, as an example. A commentator will be hard to replace completely. They are scripted and fed a myriad of information, providing context to the game, the history of the player, and the significance of a move in a race or play in a game. This lowers the bar of entry for casual viewers.
