NTT DATA has been a proud tech partner of the Tour de France for the last ten years. Creating a digital twin of each cyclist is no easy feat. It's the ultimate challenge and use case for #EdgeAI. Gathering 'moving' data and making it actionable right at the source. Think of Small Neural Network Models (not large), which require less computing, power, and network resources. This is harder to do than you think. And to the fun part.... As a long-standing "insider" tradition, the Tour allows NTT to ride alongside the pro cyclists. We cycled Stage 2 in Bologna this year with our clients - it was one of the toughest stages yet, challenging us to 15-20% gradients on a 95F hot summer day... let me put it this way....walking the bike uphill was faster than biking it (unless of course you were Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard, who were attacking each other on the same hills).

This was one of the biggest moments of my cycling life! You even managed to capture me doing a “Cavendish” sprint to the line. Superb event brilliantly executed by NTT DATA, Inc. with some great guests Simon Evatt and Mark Pearce
What an amazing experience this must have been! Thanks for sharing the photos, Shahid Ahmed!
Bravo! Coolest thing ever!
