Wind conditions can be crucial to determining victory during professional road cycling. MyRacewind creates a real-time map of a race course with hourly information regarding the key wind conditions along the course. It runs on multiple devices (pc, tablets and smartphone) and multiple platforms (iOS and Android) with insights not just for riders, but also for teams, race organizers and media.
MyRacewind produces a real-time map of this echelon risk along your cycling route so that riders and team managers are well prepared. The app only requires a GPX race track as input and is based on an algorithm that constantly evaluates four parameters along the track with great precision:
MyRacewind uses real-time wind forecasts that can predict conditions up to 10 days ahead of a race. Races can be followed hour by hour using the built-in time slider. With the geolocation option, riders can position themselves along the track for smart coordination with their teams and coaches.
Red colors on the map indicate the headwind, while blue colors represent the tailwind. The darker the color, the more head- or tailwind is predicted.
