"This enables us to prepare our riders under real-world conditions while considering the challenges of specific terrains - even from thousands of miles away." Leader and key rider within the team, Jonas Vingegaard, is also enthusiastic about the app. "Being able to train on ROUVY's real routes allows me to recon and prepare race routes I'd otherwise not be able to access due to weather or travel. It's invaluable for ensuring I'm prepared, no matter where I am."

We know from Vingegaard that he likes to spend time in Denmark, away from the mountainous terrain where he excels precisely. "The Route Creator feature allows both riders and coaches to simulate precise route profiles, making it a great asset for pre-race reconnaissance, even during bad weather." The company itself is also pleased and convinced of the added value of the routes. "This collaboration provides the tools and experience that professionals and dedicated amateurs need to excel," stated ROUVY CEO Peter Samek.
