Organisers more united than ever

“A new season has just begun.
For us, as organisers, it’s all about delivering events that fit in with an increasingly professional world.
We are constantly highlighting the beauty of our sport, the exciting races that an exciting generation of athletes magnify, the breathtakingly scenic courses that we offer roadside fans and television viewers.
Professional cycling is a pyramid with the biggest races at the top and dozens of races organised over the years by passionate volunteers at the bottom. Without them, there would be no professional cycling.
The safety of everyone – riders, followers and spectators – is the most important issue for us. It’s a constant obsession.
The road is a stadium that does not belong to us, a public space that we share and to which we invite ourselves, with our constraints.
The incidents during the Etoile de Bessèges race and the reaction of certain teams must continue to fuel our thinking and our work, in the same way as those carried out every week within Safer, in which the AIOCC is a very committed player.
Our sport is magnificent. It is sometimes cruel.
Organisers are more united than ever, federated by the AIOCC, which has 11 new members this year, and determined never to give up on key issues.
Have a great season! “

Christian Prudhomme

AIOCC and VeloViewer

AIOCC and VeloViewer have entered into a partnership to make the VeloViewer WorldTour package available to AIOCC members.

VeloViewer is a set of digital tools designed to facilitate race logistics and preparation by providing users with detailed route information. It is used before and during races to enable users to see key course features and track the location of race vehicles.

It is used by all men’s and women’s UCI World Team teams, as well as many ProTeams, and a number of continental, development and national teams.

AIOCC is covering the full cost of this tool for the first year, which will enable its member organisers to benefit from VeloViewer. A number of race organisers are already using the software.

The tool allows you to place an unlimited number of customised beacons at each race/stage to highlight the location of climbs, sprints, feed stations, hazards or any other feature along the route. These markers are then displayed in the Live App and can be exported and downloaded.

The Live App has been designed specifically for use in cars. It works on iOS and Android devices to show in real-time the map and profile of the route ahead, distances to all configured beacons and real-time location of all your race vehicles. The features make the Race Organiser’s job easier and more efficient and ultimately, improve rider safety.
