For race organisers

A pheasant doesn’t take off straight away: first it walks, quietly, and has a good look around. We do the same with races, from a distance, with what is public: the race book, the entry list, the results.

Up close, though, you see better. If you invite us to your race, we can collect more precise data: times at the top of the climbs for our climb timer, wind measured on the course, gaps along the road, and photos we take ourselves. We are open to this kind of partnership: invite us. We’ll arrive without making a fuss, as a pheasant should.

Accreditation and interviews
