About this episode

James Elvery discusses Race Ranger, a technology aimed at improving draft monitoring in triathlons.

James Elvery is one half of the team behind Race Ranger, the biking draft zone innovation shaking up racing and bringing tech into the notoriously murky waters of draft monitoring. From PTO to Para Triathlon, Ironman to Paris 2024, the three-light system has helped clarify racing for athletes, officials and organising and Race Ranger now has set its sights and lights on an Age Group race near you. Eight years on from the first conversations with World Triathlon and at the centre of a major shift of Ironman rules into line with PTO, James Elvery reveals the labour of love and endless hours that have brought his vision into reality.
