VeloViewer announces a new collaboration with Velon to bring real-time rider race data to the VeloViewer Live App, used by women’s and men’s professional teams, for enhanced rider safety and performance.
The partnership will allow the integration of Velon’s cutting-edge technology during races including the Giro d’Italia, Tour of Norway and Tour de Suisse, and in future races where Velon’s live rider data system is being used, providing teams with invaluable insights of their own riders alongside VeloViewer’s course data, all within one interface.
