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.

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

Race Across America Solo Challenge for Alvaro Nunez

When we were approached by entrepreneur and bestselling author Alvaro Nunez to support his Race Across America (RAAM) Solo attempt, we were keen to support his challenge with our WorldTour package.

The idea for this trip came to me in early 2023. However, it wasn’t until January 2024 that I started planning properly. I had decided to end my working career early, and my last day of work was scheduled for Friday, July 26, 2024. Just three days later, my flight to Vancouver, Canada, left. Continue reading

Intro to Tile Hunting Series – From Roadie to Gravel Rider

Gravel bike in woodsHearing how tile hunting has totally changed riders’ approach to cycling is very rewarding, as it is often a gateway to inspiring new adventures.

His switch to off-road has allowed him to achieve a 47×47 explorer square, with plans to grow this even further in 2025.

Read how Matt introduced a new cycling discipline to his ride outs, and how this increased his rate of tile collecting. Continue reading

Cycling Safety and Risk Management with Dr Cormac Bryce

Dr Cormac Bryce headshotLast year we linked up with Dr Cormac Bryce of City St George’s, University of London, to discuss safety in cycling after reading his academic work on the subject. His study included in-depth analysis of factors that contributed to a high-profile safety incident on the track in the Olympic Games in Tokyo, and the learnings to be taken from this. We were particularly interested in the parallels with other sports including Formula 1. The analysis sought to look broadly at contributing factors and relevant conceptual frameworks that help us to appreciate the complex nature of cycling safety.
