Introduction

velowire is happy to present its app!

You already knew the velowire website, accessible on PC, mobile or tablet, with an adapted layout since the last design change of the website at the end of 2023, but from now you'll be able to access the contents from velowire even easier on mobile or tablet!

Description of the main features of the app

The velowire app currently offers 6 sections, which generally correspond to the main contents you know from the website.

• Home
  Find all the news
  All articles published on velowire are presented directly on the homepage of the app. The contents load usually quicker in the app than on the website and you can thus consult them much more easily with the app!
• Calendar
  All cycling races - and their results!
  You are used to find the cycling calendar which presents all currently ongoing races, the races to come and the most recent races. In the velowire app you'll find this same logic, with the most important information about each race, the stages for stage races, and of course the results (stage classifications and the general classification) as soon as they are available. Soon, the app will allow you to be notified when the results of the day are available if you want to! So, come back regularly in the app in order to activate these notifications once they're available
• Maps
  The race courses more accessible than ever!
  You already know you can find detailed maps of the most important cycling races (and sometimes even smaller ones) on velowire.com, often exclusively (even compared to what the organisor offers on the official website of the race, which doesn't always provide such detailed maps). In the app, you'll of course still find these publications in the news items on the homepage (see here for a small limitation related to this, for now), but exclusively in the app, you'll find these maps directly at any time in a dedicated section. Maps from previous years are also available* and you simply have to tap the name of the race and then on the year you want to see, to find the associated map(s).
  
  A race is currently ongoing? If the map of the race (or the stage) is available, it'll automatically be indicated at the top of the screen in this section.
  
  And also exclusively in the app: you can be geolocated on the map (that's why there's a geolocation authorisation request which shows up when you open the map for the first time) and thus know exactly where you are and where the race route is from where you are. That's quite handy if you want to go to the race, to see it on the side of the road! You can also watch the map fullscreen, and if you activate your geolocation, the map automatically moves with you.
  
  * the historical collection will be enriched in the upcoming weeks or months, with maps from previous years if they're not yet available in the app
• Photos
  Watch pro cycling up close
  All photos which are available on the website are also available in the app!
• Videos
  Relive races, watch behind the scenes of pro cycling and find many other contents in video
  Since early 2025, velowire no longer published only its own videos but also relays the highlights or the last kilometers of the most important cycling races or other interesting videos published by others. The velowire app also shows these videos and you can thus make it your go-to place to always have the most important recent cycling videos at hand!
• Profile
  Manage the settings of the app here
  For now, this section is not operational yet, but in the future it will allow you to manage the setting of the app, saving your name/nickname for publishing comments, etc.
