Race timing in Cantal

This is the question we all ask ourselves: how long does each participant take to complete their race? 🤔 That’s the whole point of timing, which measures the time from start to finish to establish the rankings. Long done with a handheld stopwatch, today it’s electronic ⏱️. Chips attached to the bib, the shoe, or the bike are automatically detected on the ground as participants pass. In practice, this setup relies on timing mats equipped with RFID antennas, laid on the ground on the start line, finish line, and intermediate checkpoints: each chip emits a unique frequency captured to the thousandth of a second, ensuring rankings with impeccable accuracy. It’s also thanks to this that we can distinguish official time (calculated from the start signal) from real time, which only starts when you cross the line—very handy when you start at the back of the pack!
