Tour de France: Dimension Data (technical partner) to geolocate riders during the race

A "tracking" system to see the live geo-positioning and speed of the riders has been set up for the 2016 Tour de France (from 02 to 24/07/2016) announced the Amaury Sport Organisation, the organiser of the event, on 30/06/2016. The data flow, processed and brought to life by Dimension Data, the technical partner of the Tour de France, will be used to supplement the commentary of journalists and consultants.

For users, the Twitter account @letourdata provides information on the average speed of cyclists.

The 2016 Tour de France is being broadcast in 190 countries, in association with the host broadcaster France Télévisions (French public network), who ensure the production of the images. Six stages will be produced and broadcast in full for the 2016 edition, and for the Tour de France in 2017 all stages will be broadcast in full.

• Dimension Data also sponsors a cycling team, which bears the name of the company during the 2016 Tour de France.
