@BrechtVie@VelonCC We have no direct control over what the tv director decides to show on screen. We would like to see the data shown for longer and more often on tv but we are also developing our new Race Centre on https://t.co/nVZuGuNdur where all the data is shown all the time.
@darrencarlton67@VelonCC I agree but we have no direct control over what the tv director decides to show on screen.

@_therooster@inrng I don’t know where you’ve seen it but it most likely was produced by Velon. There’s a whole array of onbike footage from this year on Road Code.
@_therooster@inrng 2/new platform called Road Code. The platform will be an asset to the teams and is open to third parties such as race organisers and brands as well. So in one sense, yes, Velon and Road Code are one and the same thing and we are focusing our content production output on RC.
@_therooster@inrng 1/Velon was set up to attract external money into the sport to benefit the teams and also to manage existing and new rights on behalf of the teams, an example being the right to put cameras and live data devices on bikes in races. Velon has attracted an investor and is building a
@_therooster@inrng We’ve done exactly that for the last six years and will continue to produce on-bike footage and more in 2024 as we develop a new content platform owned by the teams and in partnership with investors: https://t.co/eNnHxAdPLi
@THEREDMACHINE@BrianCooksonOBE Remember the Hammer Series that Velon ran for three years before being forced to shut it down? Short, all-out races in iconic/city locations with teams racing as teams in a league across the season. What goes around, comes around.
@TrishBlack1 @BusterPell @JamesB83022243 He can’t avoid the stamp sadly. But if questioned, he can fall back on the “guidelines” and quote them if need be. The sound of that stamp on my passport saddens me but it doesn’t happen now when I enter and leave Spain. It’s the sound of silence.
@TrishBlack1 @BusterPell @JamesB83022243 He has all the rights you have as an Irish citizen. If you travel in the EU, he can do so freely with you and if you want to live there, he can settle with you. My partner is Irish and I’ve just become a resident of Spain so 🖕to Brexit, a huge act of self-harm.
@BusterPell I’ve made a choice and become a resident of Spain. I detest Brexit and all the problems it’s caused but it is what it is and I’ve done all my venting. At the age of 58, it’s time to start something new in another country and that’s my only positive from the Brexit mess.
@BriSmithy@TourofBritain 2/2 The only negative feedback was the long transfers on a couple of stages and on one, journeys of more than two hours from hotel to start and from finish to hotel. All in all though, it was a good experience for the teams.
@BriSmithy@TourofBritain 1/2 Brian, 100% agree. Sure, there were quirks this year, such as the absence of time bonuses, but having spoken to riders and staff in every team, they were all hugely positive about the race and the welcome they received from the crowds plus the bonus of beautiful weather.
@edwinhayward The extraordinary thing is that many politicians in Northern Ireland who are fundamentally opposed to a united Ireland benefit from being entitled to an Irish passport and with it, all the rights that UK citizens lost after Brexit.
@Rob_E_Dresser@The_ChrisShaw@SimonCalder I’m going to challenge you about the number of trips in EU/Schengen countries you made pre-Brexit. You choose. I have no way to prove it apart from my own experience which you’re going to dispute but I never encountered queues like I have done since Brexit. Argue all you like.
