Improving race times through advanced data analytics

Improving race times through advanced data analytics
The Belgian Cycling team was looking for an efficient way to collect and analyze rider data to improve their pacing and optimize their energy output. The goal was for coaches to use this information to develop specific training regimens and competitive strategies while providing in-race advice based on real-time data.

A single platform to collect, analyze, and monitor rider’s metrics
Inspire Sports developed the “In The Race” athlete management platform to monitor rider metrics leveraging services on Microsoft Azure. The platform allows coaches to collect detailed statistics and run personalized performance algorithms for individual riders to improve energy efficiency throughout a race.

Real-time coaching feedback and improved results
Riders and coaches can now draw on deep insights collected and analyzed on a single platform to design strategies on how to mitigate wasted energy and improve race times. This has resulted in improved performance in competition and faster times. The solution has also been made accessible to fans, offering them a more immersive and involved spectator experience.
