Vekta on The Roadman Podcast: Coaching, AI, and the Future of Performance

Last week marked a major milestone for Vekta. Our CEO, Paul-Antoine, sat down with Anthony Walsh on The Roadman Podcast — one of the most respected voices in cycling and endurance sport — for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of performance.

From the origins of Vekta to our growing partnership with GreenEDGE Cycling, FDJ-Suez and Arkéa–B&B Hotels, the episode was an opportunity to tell our story in full: why we started, what drives us, and how AI is opening up a new frontier for athletes and coaches.

A New Paradigm in Performance

Vekta is more than a platform, it's a new way of thinking about training. For athletes and coaches coming from traditional tools like TrainingPeaks, it can feel unfamiliar at first. We get it. What we offer is something fundamentally different: a dynamic, AI-powered system that adapts, evolves, and uncovers insights you simply couldn’t access before.

This podcast episode helps bridge that gap. It’s not just a story about where we’re headed, it’s a deep dive into how the platform actually works, and why we’ve reimagined the coaching experience from the ground up.

A Live Demo of Vekta

What made this episode even more powerful was a live demo of the Vekta platform in action. Paul-Antoine walked through real-world examples that highlight the intelligence, depth, and speed of what’s now possible when AI meets high-performance sport. From analysis to strategy, the system unlocks breakthroughs that weren’t visible before, but now, they’re within reach.

Thank You, Anthony
