World Triathlon continues its mission
to develop the sport around the world through a new partnership with ROTOR at
the start of the 2022 season. ROTOR, the bike component specialists, work with
core technologies to help improve cycling performance, and will provide World
Triathlon Development with 15 complete power meters for each year of the
agreement for specific use such as training camps.
As part of the agreement, ROTOR will
also provide technical support for development athletes at World Triathlon
Championship Series races, all with the goal of helping them improve their
cycling performance.
The meters can take the key metrics
of pedal smoothness, torque effectiveness, left/right balance, optimum
chainring angle and torque 360 to help improve an athlete’s technique and body
position.
“There is no doubt that the ability
to record and analyse cycling data with specialists can unlock an athlete’s
cycling potential and help them achieve their goals,” said World Triathlon
President Marisol Casado.
“At a time when technological
advancements and data are seeing the world’s biggest athletes and most
established national federations push the envelope in terms of what and how
they can be measured and improved, the new partnership with ROTOR will allow us
to bring similar analysis and the subsequent performance benefits to those
hailing from smaller and developing triathlon countries.”
“ROTOR is proud to begin working with
World Triathlon as an Official Development Partner. Our experience in the
development of high-performance technology products will serve to continue the
path that, since our origins, has always linked us to professional athletes of
the highest level around the world. It is also an important challenge for us to
help top-level triathletes achieve their goals, especially in the run-up to the
Paris 2024 Olympics”, said ROTOR Bike Components CEO, José Luis García-Alegre.
