Through this partnership, Team Visma | Lease a Bike riders will train on ROUVY’s real routes with realistic elevation profiles and iconic climbs, allowing them to remotely recon and prepare for critical stages and races. “With ROUVY, we can build and simulate precise routes for training or race recons”, says Mathieu Heijboer, head of performance for Team Visma | Lease a Bike. “This enables us to prepare our riders under real-world conditions while taking into account the challenges of specific terrains - even from thousands of miles away.”

Jonas Vingegaard is excited to be using ROUVY’s Route Creator tool: “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.” 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 partnership kicks off with a live group ride on November 27 at 6pm, where all ROUVY members can join several Team Visma | Lease a Bike riders, including Attila Valter and Ben Tullet, as they ride the final segment of La Vuelta’s closing stage. “We’re excited to partner with Team Visma | Lease a Bike and bring professional-level training to all ROUVY users,” says Petr Samek, CEO of ROUVY. “This collaboration delvers the tools and experience that both professionals and dedicated amateurs need to excel.”
