GRAND DEPART 2027 with Simon Warren

2027 sees the Tour de France’s Grand Depart return to Great Britain for the first time since 2014 and this time it’s going to be bigger than ever. 

In what promises to be a spectacular three day festival of cycling, the race crosses three countries as it travels south from Edinburgh in Scotland, via Carlisle, Keswick and Liverpool in England to finish with a stage from Welshpool to Cardiff in Wales. Along the way the routes will pass through some spectacular scenery and as a consequence another 14 British hills will now forever have the appendage ‘Côte’ attached to their names as they are added to the pantheon of Tour climbs with the likes of Alpe d’Huez and the Col du Tourmalet. 

Here, Simon Warren takes a closer look at the routes for us, paying special attention to the climbs to see what the riders, and indeed the fans have to look forward to.  Continue reading →

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 →
