Welcome to The Wolfpack Howls, the official podcast of Soudal Quick-Step and AG Insurance–Soudal pro cycling teams. 

Today’s episode is the second in our special series highlighting the work we do with the Netherlands data specialists, Transfer Solutions.

Data has become a huge part of professional sport—especially in cycling. We can now measure everything from heart rate and power to distance, speed, vertical velocity, and countless other metrics. But the real question is: what do we actually do with all this information?

That’s where Transfer Solutions comes in. They help us turn raw data into real-world performance—insights that make our riders some of the best in the world.

To explore this further, we’ve joined forces with De Dataloog, a podcast dedicated to the stories behind data. Over this six-part series, we’ll dive into how Transfer Solutions supports our teams in training, nutrition, performance evaluation, and talent identification.

In today’s episode, we sit down with Soudal Quick-Step’s head coach Koen Pelgrim to talk about how the relationship with Transfer Solutions came about and how it has changed the way that training and rider’s programs are planned.
