The social fitness app Strava announced on Tuesday a three-year partnership with the organisers of the Tour de France and the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, the Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO) to create a new content hub in the app to capture riders' data from the events.

According to the press release, the rider data from 62 per cent of Tour de France stage wins last year were loaded to the Strava app, allowing users to see the winners' routes, times, segment records and in some cases, heart rate and power data that produced the victory.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
