Robby has worked at the forefront of sport software and data science for over a decade. He was the Data Scientist for Team Sky and the INEOS Grenadiers, helping the teams win four Tour de France titles. Prior to TeamSky, Robby served as the Director of Sports Science for Garmin-Sharp Pro Cycling, where he was known as the team’s 'secret weapon' for the number of innovations he brought to the sport. Among his many technological achievements, Ketchell is the creator of the fastest speed suit in the world, the BAT Box (the world’s first on-board measuring device to replace a wind tunnel), and Platypus (cycling’s first big data analytics tool). Robby was most recently a critical member to the performance team for the INEOS 1:59 Challenge, which saw Eliud Kipchoge become the first person to run a marathon in less than two hours, in a time of 1:59:40.2.

While we are striving to make Velocity as accessible as possible, there will naturally be some technological hurdles we haven’t foreseen or can’t retro fit to meet older standards of compatibility.
Currently Velocity can communicate with Bluetooth devices via the Chrome platform on a PC. An IOS solution is in development as we continue to strive to make Velocity accessible across all devices and operating systems.
We are establishing partnerships with third party partners and developing workout files to be downloadable in formats that are compatible with leading fitness partners. Currently, your workouts will upload to Strava and Garmin Connect. We will be adding new partners soon.
