Numbers are increasingly important in sports like cycling. But just as power without control isn't very useful, data alone means nothing either.

In issue 45 of VOLATA magazine, we delve into the world of data from a more humanistic perspective, highlighting its mental and psychological management. To do so, we feature interviews with Àlex Sans, sports director of Q36.5; Francis Cabello, former Kelme rider and current coach of professional cyclists; and UAE Emirates young cyclist Igor Arrieta.

We also have an exclusive look at the women's final of the 2025 Zwift Academy. Albert Rabadan travels to the Tour de Langkawi to understand how teams fight for UCI points in an increasingly global cycling world. Juanfran de la Cruz analyzes the situation in the junior category and the leap of many young athletes to professional competition. And Marcos Pereda recounts the history of the 2,715-meter Col de Restefond, the highest peak of the Tour de France.

In addition, you can discover Across Andes, an ultracycling event in Chile; Castelli's innovations over its nearly 150-year history; and the story of Rigoberto Urán, told by Laura Meseguer. All accompanied by other great content: Brompton G-Line, Ghost Asket CFX, Wout Van Aert in Benidorm... and columns by Ander Izagirre, Laura Meseguer, and Luis Ángel Maté.
