WorldTour racing is back after four-and-a-half-month lay-off - and you can follow every pedal stroke of the action with Velon’s Race Centre, which includes a unique new feature called Red Zone.
The latest version of our Race Centre - where fans can see the riders’ speed, power and cadence - was available for the first time at Strade Bianche and will also be in action at the following races:
- Wednesday, August 5: Milano-Torino
- Saturday, August 8: Milano-Sanremo
- Wednesday, August 12: Gran Piemonte
- Saturday, August 15: Il Lombardia
Later in the resumed season, Velon’s Race Centre will be available throughout the Giro d’Italia and at several Flanders Classics races.
Fans can follow top riders including Peter Sagan, Julian Alaphilippe and Vincenzo Nibali via the live map showing their positions and the terrain they’re on.
But it’s the Race Centre’s new features that make it a must-have for all cycling enthusiasts. The pioneering Red Zone will tell you who has and hasn’t been riding above a sustainable effort, so you’ll be able to work out who is likely to burn out and who could come on strong at the end of the race.
Red Zone shows you which riders have been working the hardest
The Spotlight area enables you to select up to 10 riders and compare their live data side by side. So, if a handful of riders are on the attack on the Poggio during Milano-Sanremo or the Madonna del Ghisallo during Il Lombardia, you’ll be able to see who’s on the limit and who has something in reserve.
The Spotlight area allows you to analyse and compare the performances of up to 10 riders of your choice simultaneously
Finally, we’ve introduced a new Moments section, which will bring you not just race updates, but also analytical snippets such as which rider has produced the highest power in the race so far and who has hit the highest speed.
The Moments section brings you race updates and analysis
The Race Centre is available to cycling fans free of charge on our Race Centre page.
The new Race Centre is fully optimised to whichever device you choose to view it on, and if English isn’t your first language, don’t worry, because it can be viewed in French, Italian, Spanish, German and Dutch, with more languages to follow over the coming weeks and months.
