Does your D Curve? Don’t answer that, we are not legally allowed to hear the answer. Not after our last transgression. D CURVE Optics has announced a new partnership with Race Across America, an event more associated with withered Ds and calloused perinea than benign genital curvature. 2023 will be the race’s 41st edition, and the 3,000 mile coast-to-race event is now OFFICIALLY the World Championships of Ultra-Cycling. Apparently, D•CURVE offers innovative eyewear that is “geared toward sustainable, lasting products with original designs and exceptional quality.” This partnership hopes to highlight the company’s wide range of products suited to different…

It’s a sentence we never expected to have to write. Not because it’s shocking or terrible, just because we always assumed Sea Otter already had an industry day. Isn’t the entire thing an industry day? Apparently not. The first-ever Sea Otter Classic Industry Day will take place on April 20, 2023. We’d be making a 4/20 joke here, but we’ve also received a press release about something called D Curve and we need to save all our immature comments for that one. What makes this an industry day instead of whatever they call the rest of Sea Otter? They say…

How do you feel about GLUCOSE MANAGEMENT? If you’re not diabetic, the answer used to be “please don’t approach me in this bar, my boyfriend is in the bathroom and he’ll be back any moment.” But now, in 2023, endurance athletes-cum-influencers have shifted the paradigm by sticking continuous glucose monitors on their arms and telling their followers that it will make them faster. (Also, if you arrived from a Google search for “cum influencers,” it’s in this paragraph but it’s not what you were looking for.) Supersapiens is the global exclusive distributor of the Abbott Libre Sense Glucose Sport Biosensor,…

Do you care? Maybe, if you arrived here from a Google search. But we don’t care. Who’s the current UCI Cycling Esports World Champion? No idea. Is this actually the first edition? No idea. But apparently we’re asking the wrong questions. Zwift says, “The big question is, how are you going to watch the UCI Cycling Esports World Championships?” The big answer is that we’re going to spend time with friends instead of watching people race bikes in a video game. Anyway, the format goes like this: The men’s and women’s championships each start with a round featuring 100 racers.…

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2023 Tour of Oman! The peloton has gathered here in the beautiful country of Oman to compete in this grueling race. The riders have been training hard for months, and they are ready to battle it out on the roads of Oman. As the race starts, the riders are off like a shot. They are flying down the roads, their legs pumping furiously, and their hearts pounding with excitement. It’s a beautiful sight to see, except for one rider who forgot to bring his bike. Yes, you heard that right. One rider showed up…

Final Race Report With a nail-biting finish and after a day destined to be unpredictable, one which its main protagonists had almost never tackled, Matteo Jorgenson sealed the Movistar team’s second overall success of 2023. The The Boise, Idaho native kept all of his rivals under control over the brutal, 6km ascent of the Green Mountain. Jorgenson rode intelligently and always remained next to his main rivals for the GC, Geoffrey Bouchard (ACT, 3rd) and Mauri Vansevenant (SOQ, 1st). The Belgian made the American ride to his best, taking the sprint and gaining a 4″ second bonus on Matteo, 2nd,…

Report Diego Ulissi took his first win of the season in fine fashion on the penultimate stage of the Tour of Oman from Izki to Yitti Hills (204.9km). Pascal Ackermann surprised the climbers with an attack with 8km to go, forcing the other teams to chase behind. Ulissi had teammates Formolo and Laengen in the pack to assist him as the kilometres ticked away towards the base of the final kick which came at -2km to go. As the road flattened out Ulissi used his speed to perfection coming around Axel Zingle (Cofidis) to clinch his first victory of 2023.…

The best custom carbon frame maker located within 15 miles of the Cyclry office, Parlee Cycles Inc., has today filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Parlee’s liabilities totaled $4.4 million and total assets totaled $2.6 million at the end of January. If this was Twitter and the time was a couple of years ago, you could screenshot that last sentence and caption it “is this good?” for a few hundred easy likes. “We are building bikes. I’m looking out on the production floor right now. We’re still building bikes. We’re still shipping bikes,” said Parlee Chief Operating Officer Jamie Bradley.…
