HUAWEI Powers MPT DriveHub Cycling Team’s Ride to Glory at ‘The Great Revival: Tour of Luzon’

#HUAWEI furthers its commitment to build healthier communities through innovation with its partnership with Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (#MPTC) for the ‘The Great Revival: Tour of Luzon.’ After an exhilarating, 8-day cycling race, which started last April 23 in Paoay and concluded last May 1 at Camp John Hay in Baguio, the MPT DriveHub Cycling Team emerged as the overall winner at the historic event.

 

More than a revival of Asia’s longest cycling events, the Tour of Luzon served as a rallying point for athletic excellence, holistic wellness, and cultural celebration.

Glory on the Great Revival

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.

Emerging as the overall team champion was MPT DriveHub Cycling Team, securing the Perpetual Trophy and taking home the PHP 1 million cash prize. MPT DriveHub Cycling Team’s Mervin Corpuz expressed pride in their team’s performance, highlighting the combined effort that led to their victory, saying, “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.”

Cycling Smarter with the HUAWEI Watch GT 5 Series

During the race, MPT DriveHub Cycling Team partnered with HUAWEI, which helped them deliver a strong performance powered by the innovative HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series. The smartwatch supports over 100 sports and workout modes, including cycling, with real-time insights on heart rate, cadence, calories burned, and speed.

The HUAWEI TruSense System and Sunflower Positioning System enabled the cyclists to pace themselves and stay on track through each leg of the tour. Corpuz emphasized its usefulness for navigation and fitness tracking throughout the grueling 8-day race.

Moving Communities Forward with Groundbreaking Technology

HUAWEI’s commitment to fitness innovation was evident as the WATCH GT 5 delivered up to 14 days of battery life, providing uninterrupted performance during the entire race. “I was impressed by the battery life. We used the smartwatch throughout the race without interruption,” said Corpuz.

Looking ahead, HUAWEI aims to bring its technology to more communities across the Philippines. Its partnership with MPTC and the Tour of Luzon reaffirms this goal of promoting connected and health-conscious lifestyles.
