The money behind Pogacar’s UAE-Team Emirates-XRG comes from the region’s oil resources, while other big-budget teams include the Netherlands’ Visma-Lease a Bike of two-time Tour winner Jonas Vingegaard, and Germany’s Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe who have Belgian superstar and Olympic road and time trial champion Remco Evenepoel.<\/p>\n
In the past three seasons, Ineos Grenadiers have fallen further behind those teams in terms of budget, overall wins and UCI points amassed.<\/p>\n
Alongside their competitors’ rise was the arrival of a peerless talent in Pogacar; the Slovenian has won 112 races across a seven-year elite career, which included the 2020 Tour de France, one year after Ineos’ last win with Colombia’s Egan Bernal.<\/p>\n
Put simply, Pogacar has the racecraft and strength to accelerate away from, and outlast, any opponent in almost any race.<\/p>\n
What Ineos hope will make the difference is using Netcompany’s AI data platform Pulse, an “AI-driven orchestration platform” which uses data for “solutions in real-time decision-making”, according to the Danish compan,y which manages data for HMRC and Heathrow Airport, and whose CEO and co-founder Andre Rogaczewski says is “a company fighting for Europe’s digital sovereignty”.<\/p>\n
“For me, I struggle to turn my Apple TV on,” says Thomas. “So I’m not going to say I’m tech-savvy, but information you want in one place quickly or for a [sporting director] or trainer or nutritionist to make decisions quickly for an athlete – that’s where the benefit will be.<\/p>\n
“I feel like I started [my career] at a time when I just had a heart-rate strap. Now it’s all data with numbers here, there and everywhere. It’s like a blizzard of data, and sifting through it – anything to help narrow that down and give more of an idea of what is happening is a good thing.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The money behind Pogacar’s UAE-Team Emirates-XRG comes from the region’s oil resources, while other big-budget teams include the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":555185,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-555184","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-technology","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=555184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/555185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=555184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=555184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=555184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
