The idea for ProcyclingLive finds its origin on Twitter in 2009. Initially, race results were being tweeted from a private account. Cycling fans began to request live updates from races such as the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France, in addition to race results. Due to Twitter account limitations, coverage was frequently disrupted. In order to overcome tweet restriction a new account was created in December 2009: @procyclinglive.

ProcyclingLive is a project developed by Marco Kooijman and has grown to include team members:

- Marco Kooijman (Coordinator, infrastructure and race reporter)
- Lisette Schuurmans (Race reporter)
- José Been (Race reporter)
- Jaap Haemers (Race results)
- Liz O’Connor (News)
- Josh Morris (Podcasts)
- Dave Gorton (Podcasts)
- Tijs Oliemeulen (Web design and graphics)

Initally only available on Twitter and run by one person, we are now expanding the team, have a presence on Facebook and established our own website. Interested in joining Team ProcyclingLive or to become a partner? Let us know.
