A Champion Who Redefines the Standard

Harrie’s story is one of resilience and reinvention. From his early days as a BMX prodigy to becoming the most successful track sprinter the Netherlands has ever seen, his journey is built on grit, intelligence, and the ability to adapt. With 16 World Championship titles and 5 Olympic gold medals, Harrie has proven himself as a champion on the world stage. But his mindset remains forward looking: this can be smarter, this can be better, this can be faster.

The Goal of Project 8

Project 8 is focused on uncovering the invisible. By working with Harrie and his coaches, Factors® will connect data from every aspect of his preparation—on bike performance, gym sessions, sleep, nutrition, and even personal reflections. Our machine learning models will surface the insights that matter most, helping Harrie push the limits of what is possible in the flying 200m sprint.

The aim is simple but ambitious: to use intelligence and precision to unlock the next frontier of speed.

Built With Harrie. Built For Every Track Cyclist.

This partnership is about more than one rider’s pursuit. The same system being developed with Harrie will power the experience for all track cyclists on the Factors® app. By bringing together the full picture of training data, Factors® makes performance personal—so every athlete, from emerging talent to elite champion, can see the patterns that drive progress.

The Pursuit Continues

Harrie’s journey is proof that greatness is never a finish line. It is a process of constant evolution, where technology and human ambition meet. With Project 8, we are building smarter tools for athletes who refuse to settle.

Because performance is not just about data. It is about what you do with it.
