Nikolas Tombazis states, 'The noise around the new regulations is overstated. It's not like we're discussing a complete rewrite... The patient needs to just eat a couple of apples per day, not to have an open-heart surgery.' This reflects his belief that while adjustments are necessary, the situation is not critical.

Curling requires physical strength, muscle memory and the ability to adapt quickly. But it's also a sport that accommodates all ages.

Food logging can be done in a few ways, including searching a database, scanning barcodes, or using AI-based camera analysis. Simpler items like eggs and fruit are identified well, but complex meals can be frustrating due to lighting and AI limitations.

I started my page to fund my sports career after dedicating my life to it, but never receiving funding. But I received so much backlash...

The Crankbrothers Stamp pedals have always been one of my favorites, so when the brand dropped the info on the latest Stamp pedal, I was keen to give them a shot. Making the move from clips to flat pedals with the Crankbrothers Stamp Evo has been a refreshing change, enhancing my bike-handling skills.

Pogacar made his decisive move just as he had done two years ago on the Monte Sante Marie gravel section. His UAE Team Emirates colleagues had put the hammer down heading into that section and once Pogacar attacked on a tough climb, he quickly distanced everyone else. Seixas was the rider who resisted the longest even briefly dragging back Pogacar before the world champion accelerated again and disappeared over the horizon for good.

Pogacar stated, 'The signal for them to stop came in too late. Suddenly three guys jump on the middle of the road and start waving to stop. How can you stop in one second?'

Even before I ever came to the U.S., I'd heard the legends of the White Rim Trail. It's not only an iconic mountain bike adventure, but also a route with a deep history of FKT attempts that I've followed throughout my career. It's incredibly special to see my name alongside, and ahead of, some amazing athletes. Next time, though, I'd like to slow things down a bit and take in the views.

The Trek-Unbroken prototype is a clear signal that the '80mm of travel is enough' era of cross-country racing has officially been put to pasture.

Hard MTB League is exactly the kind of competition Ari bikes were designed for. Our bikes are built to handle everything. The climbs, the descents, the jumps. And so are the athletes lin

The new Giant and Liv eyewear lineup revolves around a simple goal: clearer vision at speed. The glasses are designed to improve focus, contrast, and visual clarity across a wide range of riding environments, from high-speed road riding to gravel and trail use. The core of that system is a mix of premium lens technologies, paired with lightweight TR90 frames and extensive ventilation.

In 2025, Cameron Jones entered the series as a Wild Card and rode that opportunity all the way to the overall men's title. What was once a developmental side door into the Grand Prix is now arguably the most coveted pathway in elite off-road racing. For 2026, six riders (three women and three men) will again earn their way into the series and chase a record $350,000 equal-pay prize purse.

Just last week, we reported on two production hardtail mountain bikes with drop bar builds from both Pivot Cycles and Pinarello. The commercial availability of these bikes is undoubtedly tied to the proliferation of drop bars on custom mountain bike builds in the pro field of iconic races like the Leadville Trail 100. In fact, Keegan Swenson raced his drop bar Santa Cruz Blur to his fifth consecutive victory in last year's Leadville race and his fourth in 2024 on board a drop bar hardtail.

Beginning in 2026, Monster Energy will have a significant presence across all 14 rounds of the global series, with branding integrated both trackside and throughout broadcast coverage, alongside fan-focused activations at each venue. The partnership further solidifies Monster's role in top-level mountain biking, adding the World Series to a long list of action-sports properties the brand already supports from motocross, to skateboarding, snowboarding, and freeride mountain biking.

GOODLIFE Nutrition is based in Lincoln, Nebraska, the home of Gravel Worlds, and is completely sponsoring the massive $150,000 prize purse. While it is already one of the marquee events on the gravel circuit, the $150,000 payout makes Gravel Worlds the largest single-day prize purse in gravel racing. This is a major investment from the sports nutrition brand GOODLIFE Nutrition and a milestone for the event and, arguably, for the sport of gravel racing itself.

Alex Pretti, a nurse and cyclist, was killed by Homeland Security agents on Saturday, January 24th, 2026, after coming to the aid of protesters in distress. The jarring footage can be found everywhere online and clearly shows the crimes committed by ICE agents in Minneapolis. In the wake of this tragedy, group rides have been organized across the globe in memory of Alex Pretti.
