Problem
Amateur cyclists often compete without the tactical and logistical support that professional riders receive, such as drafting assistance, feed‑station handling, and spare equipment transport. This gap limits their ability to maintain optimal speed, conserve energy, and respond to race dynamics, especially in longer road events.
Solution
SuperDomestique operates a marketplace that matches amateur racers with vetted professional cyclists who act as on‑race domestiques. Customers submit event details and performance objectives, then schedule a video consultation where a support package is tailored to their specific needs. On race day, the assigned domestique joins the rider’s peloton to provide aerodynamic drafting, manage feed‑station stops, and carry spare gear, all coordinated through a dedicated mobile interface. The service ensures compliance with race regulations and offers post‑race performance summaries to help riders assess the impact of the support. By delivering pro‑level assistance on a per‑event basis, SuperDomestique enables cyclists to achieve their target results without a permanent team contract.
Target Audience
The primary customers are amateur road cyclists and gran‑fondo participants who seek professional race support for individual events, as well as small club teams that need occasional domestique services for specific competitions.
