We\u2019re proud to announce a landmark three-year partnership with Vekta<\/strong>, an AI-powered training and coaching platform. As the Official AI & Big Data Partner\u00a0across all our teams \u2013\u00a0Team Jayco AlUla, Liv AlUla Jayco, Liv AlUla Jayco Continental<\/strong> Team,\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Hagens Berman Jayco<\/strong>. This collaboration signals an exciting new chapter in performance innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a shared ambition to push boundaries and embrace next-generation technologies, the partnership represents a step-change in how elite cycling teams approach data, analysis, and long-term success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brent Copeland, General Manager of GreenEDGE Cycling, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership:<\/strong>
\u201cAs a team we\u2019re always looking for ways to improve and enhance our performance. The new partnership with Vekta is something we\u2019re very intrigued about and it\u2019s exciting to be tapping into the world of AI and how we can benefit from it from a sporting point of view. We\u2019re pleased to use this performance innovation and data analysis across all four of our teams and believe it will be something beneficial.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In collaboration with the team\u2019s data science and coaching group, Vekta is supporting the development of a bespoke internal infrastructure to supercharge the team\u2019s data capabilities. The objectives of this unique collaboration are based on three pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022\u00a0Advanced Analysis and In-Depth Research:<\/strong>\u00a0Empower the team\u2019s performance staff with tools for analysing rider data with ease and flexibility and perform further research into trends and capabilities of individual riders to generate insights that directly influence performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022\u00a0Race Outcome Prediction<\/strong>: Utilising historical data, build models that predict race outcomes and help inform competitive race-day strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022\u00a0Talent Identification and Development:<\/strong>\u00a0Research rider training and racing history to determine talent-indicators and effective development pathways, driving long-term success and talent sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Miles, Lead Data Scientist at GreenEDGE Cycling, explains the impact:<\/strong>
“We\u2019ve been discussing how to best manage the wealth of data we get from our riders, with aims to apply the most up to date data science methodologies to researching and modelling team and rider performance. The team at Vekta have the right experience and knowledge to help us in this area, and their vision to combine big data with high-performance cycling is well-aligned with ours. I\u2019m very excited by the amount of new opportunities this collaboration will unlock for us in race strategy<\/em> modelling, performance and training evaluation, and much more.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the internal system is unique to GreenEdge Cycling, the same underlying technology is available through Vekta\u2019s commercial platform. Available to coaches and athletes worldwide, Vekta combines training data, wearable integrations, and advanced AI, giving users the ability to track progress, gain in-depth insights, and receive actionable guidance that evolves alongside the athlete in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul-Antoine Girard, CEO and co-founder of Vekta, shared his thoughts on the collaboration:<\/strong>
“We\u2019re proud to evolve the relationship we\u2019ve built with GreenEDGE Cycling over the past two years into one of the most<\/em> exciting and forward-thinking collaborations in WorldTour cycling. This has been a true partnership, working closely with<\/em> riders, coaches, and performance staff to build not just for today but for the future of the sport. As data becomes<\/em> increasingly central to performance, this collaboration offers a glimpse of what\u2019s possible when Big Data, AI, and world<\/em>–class athletes come together.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first partnership of its kind for GreenEDGE Cycling and positions the team at the forefront of AI integration in the pro peloton. From elite-level scouting to performance optimisation, the team and Vekta are working together to reimagine how data can drive the future of cycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
