Vekta is a training and coaching platform from GRAIG SAS, a French company founded in 2022, and its partnerships page names WorldTour teams such as Lidl-Trek and Decathlon CMA CGM. It reads critical power, W′ and durability from everyday riding and summarises every session for coach and athlete. Velograph shows critical power, W′ and durability too, and adds a free plan for riders, bike fits that stay with the rider and an AI coach the rider can ask.
