Really is the best 3 bucks I’ve spent all year.

Really a great app. I use this app and the $60 NBC Gold Cycling App for my cycling fix. I like the NBC for the video coverage of mostly just mountain stages and time trial only and this for everything else. If I had to choose though I would only go with Tour Tracker. One underrated feature of tour tracker is how blazing fast all the page loads are and how well it’s layer out. In 10 minutes I can get everything I need to know for the days 4 hours of racing. he live feed commentary is excellent. The replays and clips are great. The ability to quickly and effortlessly track all the riders all the teams all the races all the stages without adds or slow load time. See the maps see the layout see profile and read the social feeds. No other app does anything remotely close to even part of this. And for $3 a year it’s a steal. Easily has a value closer to $20 when compared to other sports tracking apps.

Best pro cycling app by far!

I rarely give app reviews. But I’ve been using Tour Tracker for years now, and they have really stepped up their game in 2020. New features such as gradients on climbs and the “time machine” feature to stream your data as if it’s live during a race replay are fantastic. SOOO much data is available through just a few clicks. If you are a pro cycling fan, this app is indispensable! It is essential as a companion to watching the race, or just following along with events if you can’t stream video where you’re at. It’s literally the first thing I look at when I wake up each morning of a big race. There is a nominal annual subscription to get most of the races (two tiers of subscription - with the most expensive being about US$10 per year). Pay the subscription - if you love pro cycling, you won’t be disappointed.

I’d pay 5x this amount — it’s that important to me

When my friends ask “isn’t it boring, just watching them whoosh by?”, I explain how I not only watch them go by (when I’m watching in person), but I watch the progress of the race (and all the mini competitions within the race) on this great app. When I’m watching on TV at home, Tour Tracker is my constant companion, to know who’s where, who took the KOM points, how many bonus points or seconds are on offer, what the gradients are, what happened before I tuned in, etc. Every season, I upgrade to the Team version, but I would genuinely pay much more — I’m happy to support this great app, and the team that brings it to me.

Digital cycling coverage, uncovered: How Tour Tracker works

Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! >","name":"in-content-cta","type":"link"}}'>Download the app .

CyclingTips has long admired the work that Tour Tracker has done for the Grand Tours ever since it’s inception. Once you look under the hood it’s a much more complex and difficult service than meets they eye. Here’s the story behind how it started and how it works.

For more info on digital cycling coverage check out our article, “How the Tour de France is broadcast to the world.”

Twelve hours before the start of the 2007 Amgen Tour of California, Andrew Lim is lost somewhere in San Francisco. Lim works for the race and has spent the entire day at Adobe Systems hammering out the final details of Tour Tracker, the world’s first digital cycling platform. Hailed as a “revolution in sports coverage,” the web-based app combined three online firsts — streaming video, GPS tracking, and a multimedia news feed — into a single integrated experience.

As a sort of unintended proof of concept, Adobe engineer Allan Padgett was able to use the app to guide Lim to race headquarters that night. Three days later, pro cycling fans around the world watched as a hungry peloton chased down a solo break into the finish city of in San Jose, California. The live video might have set the stage, but it was the GPS tracking that told the real story — the man out front would be caught 50 yards from the finish.

Digital cycling coverage has come a long way since that week in 2007. Many major cycling events have their own “tickers” that provide a news feed, and the bigger races generally include tracking and other data. A handful of races also have an associated mobile app that adds results, photography, video and more; while Twitter empowers anyone to become a cycling reporter, providing a rich view of the action.

However, it wasn’t that long ago that cycling fans depended on television broadcasts (often delayed) to keep up with races like the Tour de France. Now instantaneous updates are just something they all take for granted. Padgett, who is now CEO of Tour Tracker, creates about 90% of today’s live cycling apps.

“Great cycling coverage brings together a team of diverse talents and technologies,” said Padgett. “Each one of those alone presents a challenge — synchronizing them all into a single user experience is more like juggling knives while riding a motorcycle… in the rain.”

Padgett is, in fact, not that far off. Camera men sitting backwards on speeding motorcycles work tirelessly to capture every nuance of a bike race possible in all types of weather conditions. The video signals they provide are transmitted to helicopters and planes circling the race, which in turn re-transmit them to a production compound near the finish.

“Assuming those signals makes it to the finish, a dedicated production truck then produces a mobile show which is pushed via an additional satellite truck to the internet,” he explained. “From there it is distributed to thousands of servers around the world so that the mobile app in your hand can stream it in real-time. It’s a long broadcast chain with potentially multiple points of failure.”

While video may be one of the Tour Tracker’s chief draws, there are other types of data that his company folds into its mobile experience.

“Obviously GPS tracking is still core to our apps,” Padgett said. “Our early apps were tracking individual riders who had cellular devices on their bikes. The device called our servers every 60 seconds and we turned the location into distance travelled, speed, elevation, etc. We also pulled in heart rate, cadence and power from TDF riders in a partnership with SRM.”

Not that this futuristic advance in tech was always greeted warmly inside the peloton.

“I remember Levi Leipheimer dramatically ripped his GPS tracker off his bike and threw it to the ground on live TV during a particularly challenging stage,” he said. “We spent a fair amount of time afterwards trying to recover it.”

tour de france gps tracker

Following the UCI’s mandate that, for “safety” reasons, riders couldn’t be individually tracked, the Tour Tracker opted to follow the model used by the Tour de France. In that scenario, race-sanctioned vehicles would position themselves in and around the peloton to determine rider locations. One advantage was those devices have longer battery life and provide updates to the broadcast compound every five seconds.

“In the past two years, thankfully, the UCI has opened up tracking again,” Padgett said. “So now some races are tracking individual riders and getting data off the bikes. So we’re right back to where we were in 2007, in that respect.”

But the news feeds inside Tour Tracker are just as critical. Official Tour de France apps, such as those Tour Tracker creates for NBC and SBS, pull commentary directly from ASO servers and then relay that information to the app. For the Tour Tracker’s Grand Tour app , Tour Tracker utilizes its own reporters to provide coverage. In either circumstance the feed is distributed to thousands of servers around the world for the apps to grab.

“Clara Beard, who is a former national cycling champion herself, is providing our Tour de France coverage this year. And watching her work is amazing. She puts together this up-to-the-minute commentary while listening to multiple audio feeds, watching multiple video screens and simultaneously monitoring social media. At the end of each stage she has to go hide away for an hour to recover.”

In addition to Beard’s individual insights, she also pulls in links to some of the best coverage that she finds on the web. And since Tour Tracker isn’t a traditional media company, there is no problem linking to great stories from what some might view as their “competition.”

For the 2017 Tour, Padgett spotlighted a few additional features that he’s recently built into the platform.

“I’m psyched about our new fantasy cycling game,” he said. “We released a beta version of it for the Giro and it really went over well. For the Tour, we’ve even got former U.S. pro Frankie Andreu to put together a team and compete with our users. There’s so much more we’re doing off the raw data. Last year, for example, we started recording and ranking riders by how much time they are off the front. I think in the future we might even give an award for the winner of that category. Users love that stuff.”

The Tour Tracker even includes data synchronization. In 2015 they introduced the “Time Machine” function, which allows the user to rewind the live data feeds for any stage. This allows them to watch or re-watch the race whenever they like and the data can be synchronized to what they’re viewing.

“And we’re taking that to the next level with NBC this year where anytime you scrub through the video, live or or via replay, all of the data rewinds including standings, results, photography, news, tracking, etc. It is super cool, and we already have a prototype for 2018 that blows that away.”

Padgett has even come up with a rich set of lightweight widgets that can be embedded in other apps, in webpages, smart TVs, etc. There’s even a lightweight web version of their highly rated Grand Tours app for users who can’t have their phone out all the time.

“Ultimately our goal is to create the kind of experience that becomes an immersive voice in its own right. You have to constantly strive towards that level of engagement because that’s what people have come to expect from the media they consume,” he said. “And at this rate of development, we’re not far off from creating a situation where cycling fans can feel that they know as much about what’s going on in a race as a team director or moto referee do. And that’s fairly exciting considering that we’re not that far removed from a time where there was not much, if any live coverage available.”

Big data comes to the Tour de France

Live GPS tracking and analysis for all riders, plus GoPro cameras on certain bikes

Ben Delaney / Immediate Media

tour de france gps tracker

For the first time in Tour de France history, all riders racing in this year’s event have GPS transponders on their bikes, with the live data streaming to Tour organizers thanks to technology group Dimension Data.

Each rider has a transponder mounted to his saddle rails. This will be used by every rider for every stage of the Tour.

The data collected from this will include:

  • the stage winner’s top speed, average speed and time per kilometer
  • the fastest riders up key climbs
  • the speed of the winner at the finish line
  • the top speed achieved by a rider on the day
  • average speed across all riders

“The technology will allow cycling fans to follow the race in ways they’ve never been able to before,” Dimension Data executive chairman Jeremy Ord said in a press release. “Until now it was difficult to understand what was happening outside of what could be shown on the live television coverage. The ability to follow riders, get accurate information about which riders are in a group, and see real-time speed are just some of the innovations that will be realized through this solution.”

Each rider has his own GPS transponder for the Tour

Dimension Data is also offering a Daily Data Wrap analysis package, which you can sign up for here .

Should a rider need to change bikes during a stage, teams are required to notify race officials, as the bikes also have a timing chip on them needed for scorekeeping. In this case, that rider's GPS transponder almost certainly won't be transferred to the space bike as time will be at a premium for the racers. But in between stages when riders change from time trial bikes to their standard race bikes to perhaps an endurance bike for stage four's cobbles, the transponders will go with them.

In related news, GoPro and Tour organizers ASO have partnered this year to deliver GoPro footage from bikes , team cars and more. There will be 12 GoPro Hero4 Black cameras that are used on bikes throughout the race, with each team having at least one rider using one at some point.

Coffee For Clara

Updated: Aug 21, 2023

Anyone who has used Tour Tracker Grand Tours knows Clara Beard. She has been doing the live commentary for the app since the beginning. Clara's insightful play-by-play of every race we cover is the heart and soul of the app.

Unfortunately as we have expanded from 3 races to over 20, the cost of the purchasing and distributing the data the app needs (routes, rosters, GPS, results) has gone up correspondingly, while the number of paying customers has not. So Clara is working 7x harder without the app bringing us any more money at the end of the day...

So as of today, I have added a feature to the apps called Coffee For Clara. It is a chance for users to voluntarily send Clara a small thank you as often as they like. 100% of the profits of this will go to Clara for coffee, beer or however she wants to hydrate herself. Or a taco.

Of course most users understandably feel they already pay for the app, and please don't feel obligated to do anything. But if you love what she does and think that we charge a reasonable amount for what the app does, send her a coffee occasionally!

As an added incentive to show Clara some love, I'm going to raffle off some of my - unused - jerseys I have collected from races I have worked with. To enter, email a screenshot of your phone showing the "purchase complete" message to [email protected]!

Thanks, Allan

Tour Tracker Web Evolution

The original web version of Tour Tracker was designed to highlight live race video with all of our other data visualizations surrounding that key element, a layout that has proven successful for over 12 years and is still used for official Tour de France coverage.

tour de france gps tracker

But not every race has live race video available to every user and we needed a simple way to provide those users with a familiar, complete solution. Since GPS tracking was now one of the primary data sources, we did a simple layout change for those users.

tour de france gps tracker

But by 2021 the number of users using Tour Tracker's free live race coverage at live.thetourtracker.com had grown significantly, and we felt it was time to give those users a proper design, focusing the layout on the most important elements: the live race profile and our live multi-media commentary feed.

tour de france gps tracker

As you can see the new layout puts the key elements center stage, giving more height to the profile so that we could show the rider group details and more width to the commentary so that embedded photos and videos have more impact.

The new layout also provides a new area in the lower right for additional relevant content: a list of intermediates for quick access to their details and results (actually you could always click on the icons on the profile or map to get this but that's not obvious to every user), a summary of the standings for quick reference without changing context, and a new social media feed.

But wait, there's more! While we were updating the layout, we revisited a much harder problem: adapting the app to devices and websites where we don't have enough width for three columns of data. Back in 2015 we provided some basic reflow capability for each tab of the app, but for 2022 we have a more complete solution.

The LIVE page, for example, goes to an optimized 1-column view when needed, keeping the most critical elements at the top, while the rest of the data (e.g. the map) is a short scroll away.

tour de france gps tracker

With the other tabs like STANDINGS, however, we wanted to retain the list of riders throughout the transition to narrower widths. As such they go from 3-columns (category, riders, rider profile):

tour de france gps tracker

To 2-columns (category, riders, clicking on rider will show a profile pop-up):

tour de france gps tracker

To 1-column (most important categories and riders stacked, click on rider for profile):

We hope you enjoy these updates and look forward to getting feedback!

TourDeFrance_white

Ublox Point-Perfection:

The traditional GNSS chips provides the accuracy of upto 5-10 meters. Using the Ublox point perfection correction the accuracy can be improved to up to few centimeters. Ublox receives the data from all gnss satellites orbiting around the world, this data is used to calculate each satellite clock errors, orbits signal biases and atmospheric delays caused by the ionosphere and troposphere the net result enables the most reliable available and accurate gnss correction data service to the end user. These binary packets are published over MQTT following the standard SPARTN protocol.

Our application subscribed to the ublox MQTT service to receive these binary packets. These will be further forwarded to the GNss chip over UART. The chip does the correction using these binary packets and there by improving the accuracy to centimeters within few seconds.
