Australian professional cycling team GreenEDGE has selected TrainingPeaks to be its official supplier of training software for the team’s first year in the 2012 UCI WorldTour. GreenEDGE will collect heart rate and power data from each team rider’s training and racing – for analysis and monitoring on the TrainingPeaks platform by team coaches and staff.
TrainingPeaks will also be used as a tool for riders to receive planned meals and training programs from GreenEDGE coaches, and provide feedback on workouts to team coordinators.
“GreenEDGE Cycling will utilise TrainingPeaks software to improve our understanding of each individual athlete’s performance capabilities, and then use that information to improve the athlete’s limiters, as well as help us make roster decisions,” said Marc Quod, GreenEDGE team physiologist.
TrainingPeaks co-founder and Chief Evangelist Dirk Friel is excited about the new partnership. “GreenEDGE has proven with their recent overall win in the Tour Down Under that they are a team to watch in the 2012 UCI WorldTour. We’re honoured they’ve chosen TrainingPeaks to give them cutting-edge insight on their riders’ performance, fitness and trends as they prepare themselves to explode onto the world stage,” he said.
GreenEDGE is now the third ProTour cycling team to officially partner with TrainingPeaks, including British Team Sky and Denmark’s Team Saxo Bank.
