The recently updated Velon Live Cycling app is a fantastic way to follow the action from selected UCI WorldTourt and continental races, streaming live data such as speed, cadence and power straight to your smartphone.
The second instalment of the Velon app is available now for iOS and Android and is currently streaming live data from the Giro d’Italia. If you’re watching the Italian Grand Tour this weekend, get the app downloaded and get some behind-the-scenes access to the top racers.
The app is able to display power, speed, heart rate and cadence from selected riders, providing a brilliant insight into just how much effort it takes to survive in a breakaway or keep with the general classification leader on the biggest climbs.

Velon is free to download for Android and iOS users.
David has worked on the road.cc tech team since July 2012. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK.

He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds.
