The View From An Original Tiler
The tiling community never fails to impress us, and for this tiling Q&A we go inside the mind of one of the original VeloViewer tilers. Torsten Frank has a rare four digit Strava user number which is indicative of his time on the platform, and he was quick to get on board with VeloViewer, exploring its functionality to maximise his riding experience.
Torsten has a passion for ultra distance racing and regularly blogs his adventures, both on his travels and in his homeland of Germany.
After his Instagram posts caught our attention we got in touch with him to uncover more about his interest in tiling. Continue reading
Inside the Czech Tour with VeloViewer
During the 2025 racing season we have forged new working relationships with race organisers globally via our AIOCC contract, providing the WorldTour package to improve safety and logistics.
As part of this we connected with the Race Manager of the Czech Tour, Martin Kolář, who used VeloViewer to support the four day race which ran in August. Following the event, we were thrilled to hear how VeloViewer played such an integral role in the event and levelled up safety.
In our latest Q&A we go inside the Czech Tour with a view from Martin on how the WorldTour Package was used, and the benefits it brought to the race.
VeloViewer Infographic Check-In
With over half of 2025 completed, VeloViewer infographics are starting to look pretty as they tell a story of riders adventures for the year to-date. Our end of year VV Wrapped is renowned for being shared in the new year and is a visual way to depict the year of training.
For some, the infographic data is a closely guarded secret which will not be revealed until the close of 2025, but we have spotted a few out in the wild and so have been checking in with riders on their progress.
Cycling enthusiast and YouTuber Scottish rider Stuart Dick shared his Infographic with us, and we wanted to see how his year was progressing, and what his motivations were to get out and ride. Continue reading

Conquering Race Across America with Alvaro Nuñez
In May we announced we were supporting entrepreneur and bestselling Author Alvaro Nuñez in his Race Across America (RAAM) attempt, and we are delighted to report he recently completed this extreme event in 11 days, 23 hours and 3 minutes.
This is a phenomenal achievement, and the story of the dedication which went into this endurance ride is inspiring. We were keen to go behind the scenes and hear about the highs and lows of taking on the RAAM, and what drove Alvaro to push through this gruelling challenge and complete his mission.
Driven by the motivation to finish the RAAM in under 12 days, Alvaro pushed himself to the extreme which, as he explains, involved strength both mentally and physically.
Michael Mørkøv’s take on VeloViewer as a Lead Out Man
Ben recently connected with legendary lead out man Michael Mørkøv, and took the opportunity to find out more about his career and use of VeloViewer. It is always fascinating to get the view from a rider as to how VeloViewer has changed the logistics of racing, and how it is integrated into team and race organisers’ planning systems.
Can you tell us the background to your cycling career and highlights?
I started off as a track cyclist and grew up on the boards (ed: Velodrome) and I won Worlds and World Cup medals, going on to win Olympic medals. I then turned professional on the road starting with Saxo Bank, the former CSC team. There the main focus was to participate in the Tour de France and be optimistic for the GC riders. I then moved to Katusha and Quick Step where I took on the role as lead out man for the best sprinters of the time. As a result I combined road and track cycling for many years. Continue reading
