Today, Prudential RideLondon and Velon announced a three-year partnership for the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic, which becomes part of the UCI WorldTour from 2017.
This partnership guarantees the participation of some of the biggest teams in pro cycling for the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic, the race based on the London 2012 Olympics road race route
Starting in 2017, the new agreement sees the Velon teams committing to support and race the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic for three years (2017-2019). Velon will also provide the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic with both live and delayed on-bike video footage with pioneering live rider telemetry technology bringing further exciting innovations for fans to enjoy.
Velon and the race organisers aim to bring the fans inside the race as extensively as possible to showcase the very best of pro cycling.
In a statement from Velon, they say that “the adoption of Velon’s technology system, including on-bike footage and live rider data, will add new clarity, depths and insights to the race coverage for the fans – following both live and delayed coverage via TV, online at Velon.cc or on the Velon app.”
This new deal builds on the successes of the 2016 race’s partnership, which saw Velon provide live rider data telemetry for the BBC’s TV broadcast coverage.
These are the onboard highlights from this year’s race:
