Yes, really. It’s real and it has a website, albeit one that uses the default WordPress favicon. Before we dive into insulting it, let’s watch the trailer together. Looks alright really. About as good as any of these horror films, anyway. And we’ll obviously watch it because it’s about a cycling team. The premise is that an American cycling team heads to Europe for a training camp, staying in a historic lodge in which a different cycling team went missing back in 1975. So far, that just sounds like how we spent our winters for several years as cycling journalists.…

Zwift, the videogame that makes you sweaty, has announced the addition of a handcycle to their in-game bike options. The new handcycle is Zwift’s first adaptive bike and is designed to be used by Zwifters who ride handcycles at home, so that they can represent their equipment more accurately. The new bike is now in all Zwifters’ garages and available for use. Adaptive cyclists are a diverse subset of the larger Zwift community, which includes all kinds of athletes – from paralympic hopefuls to casual cyclists. The new Zwift handcycle will give members of that community the ability to accurately…

Let’s not beat around the bush. The Stages SB20 Smart Bike will be on sale for $1999 from September 22 through October 3. The SB20 is usually $3149, so this is a major discount on what Stages creatively refer to as “the leading smart bike from Stages Cycling.” The SB20 Smart Bike is a quiet trainer that connects with all third-party apps, including the new Stages Cycling app. It’s adjustable for riders between 4’10” and 6’8”, which Stages says means “multiple riders in one household can enjoy” it. Which is true. And if you’re in a 4’10” and 6’8” relationship,…

Wout van Aert and his Belgian team mates took a break from their training ride in Australia ahead of the Worlds to cheer on a local bike race. It’s his BIRTHDAY, and this is what he chooses to do. Same, Wout. Here’s the video. So there you have it. We shared a Tweet as an article. The Tweet shared it from Instagram, probably the official Belgian team’s Instagram. Next up we’ll pull all the funniest comments from Reddit and turn it into clickbait.

Zwift, the global online fitness platform for cyclists, has officially launched its first smart trainer, Zwift Hub. Gee, I hope there are no other bike-related things called “Hub.” Wait, maybe that’s the point: it includes a pre-installed cassette. Which, actually, is not that much of a differentiator at all, but ok. Zwift says that Zwift Hub makes getting started on Zwift easier than ever. Hopefully it makes it easier for those of us with lapsed subscriptions to get back into it too. (Psst, send us a review unit.) “There’s no doubt that Zwift Hub is going to disrupt the market,…

Remco Evenepoel wins the 77th edition of the Vuelta a Espana. Results Results powered by FirstCycling.com

Report Richard Carapaz put in an impressive and battling ride to clinch a third stage win of this Vuelta a Espana and all but wrap up the polka dot jersey. The Ecuadorian was active from the very start of the 20th stage, making decisive attacks to rack up enough points to make sure of the mountains classification, which he looks set to secure on Sunday in Madrid. With the GC contenders closing in, Carapaz never gave up and launched a final acceleration over the top of the final climb. He then dug deep to maintain his slender advantage on the…
