As part of its commitment to build healthier communities through innovation, HUAWEI partnered with MPTC for the “The Great Revival: Tour of Luzon”. The 8-day-long cycling race, which started last April 23 in Paoay and concluded last May 1 at Camp John Hay in Baguio, has the MPT DriveHub Cycling Team emerging as the overall winner at the historic event.
The MPT DriveHub Cycling Team secured the Perpetual Trophy and took home the Php 1 million cash prize. “We’re very happy. Every one from the team gave it our all. It’s really the whole team’s effort that brought us here, ” MPT DriveHub Cycling Team’s Mervin Corpuz said.
A total of 13 local and 4 international cycling teams competed in the multi-stage race, covering 7 provinces across Northern and Central Luzon. Spanning 1,074.90 kilometers over 8 days, the event showcased exceptional talent, endurance, and sportsmanship from both Philippine and international athletes.
The MPT DriveHub Cycling Team used HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series for monitoring real-time insights on heart rate, cadence, calories burned, and speed, which enabled the cyclists to manage their exertion efficiently throughout each stage. According to Corpuz, the MPT DriveHub Cycling Team found the real-time cycling performance and health insights from the HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series helpful. “It allowed us to pace ourselves across each stage,” he said.
HUAWEI’s TruSense System allowed the WATCH GT 5 to deliver next-level health, fitness, and emotional wellbeing tracking. Its Sunflower Positioning System allowed the smartwatch to deliver precise GPS tracking with full-color route navigation, helping the cyclists stay on course throughout varied, challenging terrain. The WATCH GT 5 smartwatch offered up to 14 days of battery life on a single charge, ensuring uninterrupted performance even during extended use during the 8-day-long race. “I was impressed by the HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series’ battery life. We were able to use the smartwatch throughout the race without interruption,” Corpuz adds.
