The Tour de France just got a whole lot easier to track and watch. With the creation of Race Center, from Dimension Data and Amaury Sport Organization (A.S.O.), viewers can track race data, video, social media feeds combined with a live tracking website. Race Center runs on Dimension Data’s cloud platform and was created in partnership with A.S.O., a group that organizes sporting events such as the Tour de France.

Many of the tracking devices were tested during last year’s Tour de France and are now production ready with more data analysis and improvements on the previous technology.
