Race Timing in Drôme

It’s 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 determine the ranking. Long done with a handheld stopwatch, it’s now electronic ⏱️. Chips attached to the bib, shoe, or bike are automatically detected on the ground as they pass. In practice, this system relies on timing mats equipped with RFID antennas, placed on the ground on the start line, finish line, and at intermediate checkpoints: each chip emits a unique frequency captured to the thousandth of a second, ensuring an impeccably precise ranking. It’s also thanks to it that we distinguish official time (calculated from the starting signal) from real time, which only starts when you cross the line—very handy when you start at the back of the pack!

So, what does that look like in practice?
