Seven Year Sponsorship of Cycling Sheffield
Today our partnership with Cycling Sheffield entered its 7th year! To mark the occasion VeloViewer’s Ben and Rachel joined the team for the new season launch at the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre (AWRC), at Sheffield Hallam University.
The host, Professor Rob Copeland, now Team Manager for Santa Cruz Syndicate, welcomed the Cycling Sheffield team and its supporters. Team Manager, Dave Coulson, introduced the new Under 23 team who are supported and progressed through the British and European cycling scene. The team of eight riders includes two rookies, Josh Horsfield and Oliver Sergeant, who are excited about their debut season. They are all hoping for an injury free season and, for some, are particularly keen to impress when they ride in France and Belgium later in the year in the hope they may attract a contract from a European team for next season.

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.
Alvaro will tackle the 3000+ mile ultra race across the breadth of America from the 10th June and will have a dedicated team on hand to support him on the journey.
