Race timing in Toulouse

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 practical terms, this setup relies on timing mats equipped with RFID antennas, placed on the ground at the start line, finish line, and intermediate checkpoints: each chip emits a unique frequency captured down to the thousandth of a second, ensuring rankings with impeccable accuracy. It’s also thanks to this that we distinguish official time (calculated from the start signal) from net time, which only starts when you cross the line—very handy when you start at the back of the pack!

In practical terms, what does that look like?
