Real time biometrics data from Velon teams at GP de Quebec and GP de Montreal
Along with onboard footage from the GP de Quebec and GP de Montreal, Velon has teamed up with race organisers Groupe Serdy to provide "riders' speed, cadence, power, heart rate and position" during the broadcast. In total, 104 riders in the peloton will be providing the data with four riders from the 11 Velon teams and Movistar, 60 from the other teams, and the entire Team Canada squad.
Velon CEO Graham Bartlett explained the announcement is another important moment for Velon and demonstrates the growing interest for on-screen data from the fans.

"Our experience tells us that they really appreciate being able to monitor real-time rider data alongside great broadcast coverage and the teams are enthusiastic about using innovative technology to make fans more connected to the sport," Barlett said.

"We're thrilled to be partnering with Velon on this project, and delighted that the cyclists are so optimistic about it," said Arsenault. "None of this would have been possible today were it not for the work done in collaboration with a number of the teams during the 2015 races.
