Each episode, featuring a unique blend of insights from riders, coaches, experts, and team leadership, dives into a different aspect of elite sports and data. Learn everything about the use of data to optimize training and race results, nutrition, and scouting. Welcome to a world where numbers make the difference but human performance wins the race. In this episode, you’ll hear the remarkable story of Justine Ghekiere, whose relentless determination and winning mindset propelled her from amateur to professional cyclist. What started as a way to kill time during the COVID lockdown, riding 13-hour sessions on indoor rollers, turned into performances so extreme they were initially dismissed. Only after submitting her raw data was it confirmed that this wasn’t a mistake, but simply raw talent. That same data caught the attention of the Soudal team, who recognized her potential and offered the environment she needed to grow. Justine shares how she now works closely with coaches, nutritionists, and data analysts to optimize every aspect of her performance, from nutritional strategies to using past training data as benchmarks for peak condition.
