The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) has noted with satisfaction the agreement that has been reached between the Japanese Government, the Organising Committee and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) concerning the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The postponement of the Games to 2021 is in the health and sporting interests of the athletes, as well as all concerned people and parties. Cycling, a historic sport at the Olympic Games and the third Olympic sport in terms of medals with its five disciplines (road, track, mountain bike, BMX Racing and BMX Freestyle), has taken important decisions in the same direction over…

Free training plans. Remember when we used to make the Sufferfest videos in the very early days? Good times. The current global health crisis is impacting all of our lives in profound, unimaginable ways. Our thoughts go out to everyone who has been personally affected by the disease. While we all know that there are far more important things than smashing the next workout or getting a PR on your local climb, as athletes we also know that there is comfort, solace, and meaning to be found in exercise. In these extraordinary circumstances it can be challenging to stay strong…

It’s obviously disappointing to see the Olympic Games postponed as they were a big goal for me this year. But, I completely support the decision as it is clear at a time like this that health and safety are the biggest priority and it wouldn’t have been possible to safely stage an event like the Olympic Games with thousands of people coming from all over the world. I think postponing the Games was the only possible option as we face so many uncertainties in the coming months and it would not have provided a fair playing field with everyone’s preparation…

Everyone, both Zwift-users and those of you who do not have a trainer yet, were able to join the ISN-Jersey raffle via our Facebook and Instagram page. We’ve got two winners! First of both is Kate Passow (picture in the comment…

Written by Francesco Chiappero – BA Sports Science, Athletic Coach, owner of ReAction® and member of Equipe Enervit According to the current law we could still go out and train, but is it really the best idea? What if we picked up our bike trainer and tried a new approach? A bike trainer can become a fun and useful tool if used properly. A mirror, a playlist, and an energy drink, and you’re ready to go! During winter, we might be used to training in our garage, but at this time of the year, you could also place your trainer…

Elise Chabbey is a recently-graduated doctor of medicine. Juggling her medical career with her sporting career is something that the 26-year-old Swiss rider has become accustomed to doing over the past few years, and she’s taken up the challenge once again, yet this time, in quite a different way. Initially on the roster for the iconic Strade Bianche, as well as a series of Belgian semi-classics, Elise was looking forward to continuing what had already been a very strong start to the season for the team.
