Where science meets cycling – an interview with Lukas Löer from SCYENCE

From the beginning on Lukas has been a part of the VOTEC Endeavor Project. As a sports scientist he now wants to combine his job with his passion and has founded SCYENCE with partners. We talk to Lukas about the content of SCYENCE, his plans and, above all, the scientific findings and translations that he and his team will devote themselves to.

VOTEC Endeavor Project athlete Lukas at Unbound

We met up with Lukas to talk about the pitfalls of the race and, above all, the imponderables. About the different phases in a long-distance race and why the preparation and working with the material is so relevant. It was a very mixed experience for Lukas on a demanding track. The day before the race, the route was adjusted again due to severe flooding and the mud that was left behind provided unexpected challenges. But now let’s talk to Lukas Löer about the Unbound.

Allroad = Allrace? – The VOTEC VRC at The Traka

We’re still super happy with Marion’s victory at The Traka two weeks ago. An incredible start to what will hopefully be an eventful and successful gravel season. After reviewing the race from Marion’s eyes in the last post, we now take a look at her material. After all, she didn’t win The Traka on the VOTEC Gravelbike VRX, but on the AllRoad VRC. Reason enough to take a closer look at the bike and especially Marion’s motivation.

B-Roads – out on the roads not taken

For us, cycling has never been about the prestigious roads with perfect tarmac, but about the small back roads that lead you straight into an adventure. Show us your favorite “B-Roads” and win a VOTEC kit for your next adventure off the fine tarmac.

Stuttgart- Stelvio: In one go !

What happens if we never turn around to head home, but just continue riding? If our legs keep on going – instead of resting on the couch, we keep rolling towards the horizon? Could we ride non-stop from VOTEC headquarters to one of the most iconic peaks in cycling history? Instead of endlessly thinking about it, we decided to just do it. In early September, a colourful group of us set off from Stuttgart and headed towards the Alps. The destination was the Stelvio, which just three weeks ago had turned the Giro upside down. Tackling this climb probably ranks highly on the to-do list of all bike racing fans.
