Abstract

Cycling is an important field of sport and a great example of a sport in which athletes are highly measured due to cycling computers that monitor and document workouts in detail. Leveraging this variety of data, we developed The Velodrome, a web-based analytics tool in collaboration with the Israel Premier Tech pro-cycling team to support decision-making. Unlike traditional tools that focus on individual cyclists, The Velodrome enables comparative analysis of multiple cyclists, assisting coaches and directeur sportifs in race selection, strategic preparation, and training decisions. The Velodrome integrates both objective metrics (e.g., relative power, elevation gain) and subjective metrics (e.g., sleep quality, fatigue level) to provide a holistic view of each cyclist’s physical and mental state. The platform offers various visualizations, including radar and line charts, facilitating multi-cyclist and time-based comparisons. These features enable detailed insights into training loads, performance trends, and readiness for competition, supporting team-level decision-making.
