Yes, Airnimal has also race folding bikes.

Now, the question is what to do with a folding race bike ?

Race: whatever is done, a folding race bike will have lower performances than an high end race bike. People doing race cycling use special cases to carry their race bike partly dismounted.

Travel: such race folding bikes aren't suited for traveling: no possibility to carry anything, low maximum allowed weight, narrow road tires...

Doing some leisure rides with friends living far away from home/abroad is for me the only remaining use case.

But how many people need a folding bike for that ? Much less than commuting people, people living in a small apartment/house with no storage for a bike... so the market is very small.
