Race day shouldn't keep you up at night.
Rouback is the safety platform for cycling races. It screens each course before the first pedal stroke, supports your safety team during a race, and captures every incident from start to finish.
Complex coordination deserves real-time decision support.
Race safety involves complex coordination between multiple stakeholders, often under time pressure. There is an opportunity to better support decision-making with structured data and real-time insights.
- No structured way to screen a course for risk
- Communication breaks down when it matters most
- Safety decisions happen in isolation, not distributed
- No way of complete course information at a glance
- Every race you start from zero again
The question isn't whether to modernise race safety. It's how fast you can.
One platform. Three phases. Complete coverage.
Every race follows the same arc: preparation, execution, review. Rouback covers every stage in one connected platform.
Screen the course
Map every metre of the route. Flag hazards, assign risk scores, and generate inspection reports before race day.
Coordinate your team
Assign roles, share live positions, and communicate through a single dashboard while the race is running.
Learn from the data
Log every incident in real time, generate post-race reports, and feed insights back into the next edition.
Automatic course screening
Geo-tagged hazard points and automated risk scoring through machine learning, based on road characteristics and aggregated historical data.
Compliance & audit
Audit-ready federation reports.
Live coordination
Real-time marshal and medic communication.
Incident reporting
Structured forms with GPS tagging.
Team management
Roles, credentials, volunteer coordination.
Smart alerts
Dangerous obstacles, weather, incidents, missed checkpoints.
Post-race insights
Benchmark and improve each edition.
Data privacy
Encrypted, role-based access controls.

Rouback gives race organisers a single platform that covers every phase of safety.
Closed-loop safety, from route to report.
The Rouback platform screens every course before the race, tracks every rider during it, and turns every incident into intelligence during and after the race.
Screen the route
After uploading your GPX and optionally your filmed route, our AI flags all hazards before anyone rides it. It uses the intelligence of the speed and behaviours of professional cyclists in a bunch.
Built for the people who actually manage race day.
Rouback is built for the teams that have to make safety decisions before and during the race.
Race organisers
Plan safer courses, coordinate safety crews, and meet federation requirements with less manual work.
Safety coordinators
Get a real-time overview of every safety asset on course, with structured incident capture built in.
Federations
Receive standardised safety reports from every race. Compare across events, seasons, and regions.
Teams & riders
Access course risk information ahead of race day. Know the hazards before the start line and during the race with changing conditions.
We've been inside professional cycling for five years.
Rouback originated from Ghent University, where the team is active as sports data researchers. Built the race screening tools, and spent five years researching race safety in collaboration with a range of stakeholders across the cycling ecosystem.

Built on research, validated in real races.
Rouback was born from Ghent University, where the founding team has researched cycling road safety since 2020. The platform's core technology was peer-reviewed and field-tested before a single line of product code was written.
- Associated course screening for a wide range of cycling events
- Rouback's risk scale built from 5-year meta-analysisresearch activity conducted at Ghent University
- Initiated at Ghent University

Frequently asked questions
Rouback is a digital platform that helps race organisers screen courses for risk, coordinate safety teams during the race, and capture every incident from start to finish — replacing spreadsheets, walkie-talkies, and gut feel with structured data.
You upload or draw the race route on a map. Rouback analyses every metre using GPS data, historical incident records, and road characteristics to flag hazards and assign risk scores — before anyone sets foot on the course.
Rouback generates structured reports that can be directly used by race safety coordinators and integrated into existing workflows.
GPS tracking is increasingly common at WorldTour level but not yet mandatory across all race categories. Rouback works with or without live rider tracking — it focuses on course and crew safety, not athlete performance and fan engagement.
