Deceuninck – Quick-Step Floors Cycling Team (Belgium) - Press Release: Our team will be working with CORE’s body temperature monitors throughout the 2021 season.

As we revealed in our blog published in the autumn, our team have been trialing CORE’s unique systems since last year’s Giro d’Italia. After a successful trial period, our coaching team has decided to use CORE’s tools throughout the coming season, in order to study further the corelation between the body’s core temperature and elite endurance performance, while enhancing Deceuninck – Quick-Step’s reputation for embracing new technologies.

Speaking of the new partnership, Deceuninck – Quick-Step’s head coach Koen Pelgrim said: “When it was explained to us how the CORE body temperature technology works, we were of course interested. For several months now, we have been trialing their technology and looking at ways of measuring our riders core temperatures during training and racing, and then analysing the findings to help us understand how even slightly changes in core temperature can affect performance. We were impressed by CORE’s knowledge base and support, as well as their efforts to make a discreet unit like that, which helps especially important during races. We are looking forward to partnering with them this year and seeing the results.”
