Inside the draft zone with Jame Elvery

July 26, 2025 · 35 min

Show notes

In this episode, I sit down with James Elvery, the creator of RaceRanger, to explore how his groundbreaking real-time drafting detection system is changing the face of triathlon.

We unpack the landmark decision by Challenge Roth to publish professional drafting data, why they did it, what it revealed, and how it could reshape how fans, officials, and athletes view fairness within the long course triathlon format.

From the early skepticism to the current wave of transparency and tech-driven officiating, James takes us behind the scenes of RaceRanger’s evolution and what’s next for its role in elite racing.

Enjoy!
