Adding to its current helmet lineup, all featuring its proprietary KinetiCore technology, the new Sphere road helmet is intended to be an all-around option for both paved and gravel road riding. KinetiCore is Lazer's internal system, an alternative to MIPS, offering rotational impact protection through "Controlled Crumple Zones" that are intended to crumple under pressure, redirecting energy away from the head.
With its combination of aero shaping and ventilation, it sits between the plentifully ventilated Z1 and the very aero Vento in the brand's lineup, with a more approachable price of US$150/€150/CA$220. The Sphere is available in three sizes (S/M/L) and eight colors, weighing in at 270 g for size Medium. Lazer
Ultimate valves are available in 50 mm and 70 mm lengths and are designed to fit modern and deep-section rim profiles. They are said to be engineered for high airflow with a large internal bore diameter and are compatible with a range of inserts. Pricing is $28/€33 for 50 mm and $29/€34 for 70 mm.
Silca claims to have engineered its Ultimate rim tape to "eliminate common tubeless failure points such as tearing, stretching, leaking, and frustrating adhesive residue" by using a triple-ply construction that combines high-strength, high-stretch, and abrasion-resistant layers made from a multi-layer composite of PET, PU, and a proprietary abrasion-resistant top film. It comes in 25 mm (rim widths 23-27 mm) for $24/€29 and 32 mm (rim widths 28-32 mm) for $25/€30. Silca
reTyre secures €7m funding and partners with Vittoria
Norway-based, recyclable tyre start-up reTyre has secured €7 million (US$8.1m) in funding to industrialise its injection-moulded bike tyre manufacturing. Alongside funding, it has also signed a partnership with Italian tyre brand Vittoria to co-develop products.
According to reTyre, the funds will be directed at the company's first fully automated production facility in Norway, as well as a second plant in Asia. ReTyre released its first "carbon-neutral tyre" in 2024, and claims that its patented tyre-making process can cut the CO2 emissions by 80% compared to conventional vulcanised tyres, while keeping the process dust-free and fully automated, which allows manufacturing closer to assembly lines.
The majority of the funding came from Hatch Blue and Fundracer, a cycling-focused venture capital fund that was founded by cycling industry stalwarts: 3T's CEO Rene Wiertz, Cervelo co-founder Gerard Vroomen and ex-Zipp president Andy Ording.
Teams boycotting Venezuela's Vuelta al Táchira, including that of reigning champ
Two teams are boycotting the ongoing Vuelta al Táchira, including Team Trululu Grupo La Guacamaya, which won the race overall last year with Eduin Becerra, and Gobierno de Trujillo, home of three-time winner Roniel Campos.
The 2.2-ranked Vuelta al Táchira started with stage 1 (of 10) on Friday apparently without modification despite the previous weekend's attack in Caracas by the United States. Dan Challis of Global Peloton has since reported that only 76 of the expected 110 riders started the race, with two teams from the nearby region of Trujillo – whose governor is a supporter of captured president Nicolás Maduro – reportedly boycotting because of the turbulent political situation.
De Lie recovering after fall, sets sights on Flanders and Roubaix
As Wielerflits reports, Arnaud De Lie (Lotto-Intermarché) has resumed training after hurting his ankle when falling down the stairs in December.
"I received good treatment and we made a good plan. I wasn't allowed to ride for eight days, but that's back to normal now," De Lie said. "However, I can't train at full strength yet. Sprint training isn't an option yet. More tests will follow soon, and we'll see what we can do."
The 23-year-old Belgian plans to start his season at the Clásica de Almeria with a spring focused on the Cobbled Classics. With his sights set on the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix, he will skip Milan-San Remo. [Wielerflits]
Strava confidentially files for an IPO
Strava has confidentially filed paperwork to go public in the US, moving its speculated initial public offering (IPO) a step closer, according to reporting by The Information. The confidential S-1 registration, filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), suggests an offering could come as soon as this spring, with Goldman Sachs tapped to help steer the process.
A confidential S-1 lets companies refine their prospectus with the US Securities and Exchange Commission before revealing financials publicly, and the document becomes visible shortly before the IPO.
As we reported in September 2025, Strava has been sounding out banks for a potential listing and hiring investor relations and roles typical of IPO preparation for a while. Last week, it appointed Barry McCarthy, the former Netflix and Spotify CFO and ex-Peloton CEO, with experience in leading the companies' direct listings, to its board of directors.
Strava was valued at about US$2.2 billion in a May 2025 funding round.
Van Aert is already training outside 10 days after breaking his ankle
Wout van Aert broke his ankle 10 days ago during Exact Cross Mol, and had surgery the following day. Nine days later, the Belgian has logged his first outdoor ride post-injury, labelling it "Won Monday" with a party emoji.
The multiple cyclocross world champion saw his winter programme ended prematurely at the snow-affected Zilvermeercross, but that he's so quickly back on the bike, and not still confined to the indoor trainer, is reason for a little optimism with the road season around the corner.
Alvarado, Nys and Del Grosso among winners on day 2 of CX national champs
The cyclocross national championships wrapped up on Sunday with some of the marquee events including most elite races, not least a showdown among the Dutch elite women who have dominated the field this season.
Successful defending champions included Thibau Nys (Belgium), Tibor Del Grosso (Netherlands), Cameron Mason (Great Britain), Marie Schreiber (Luxembourg) and Kevin Kühn (Switzerland), along with Saturday's winners Marion Norbert Riberolle (Belgium) and Felipe Orts (Spain).
One of the most notable results of the weekend happened in France where this season's revelation Amandine Fouquenet was beaten to the elite women's title by 20-year-old Célia Gery. While over in the Netherlands, Ceylin Del Carmen Alvarado topped the podium with Puck Pieterse and Lucinda Brand. The latter explained later that she had neither the legs nor sufficient preparation to deliver on her favourite status; she did though extend her podium sweep to 62.
Overview of elite results:
Belgium: Marion Norbert Riberolle* (Saturday) and Thibau Nys*
Netherlands: Ceylin Del Carmen Alvarado and Tibor Del Grosso*
Czechia (Saturday): Kristýna Zemanová* and Krystof Bazant
France: Célia Gery and Joris Delbove
Great Britain: Anna Flynn and Cameron Mason*
Italy: Sara Casasola and Filippo Fontana
Luxembourg: Marie Schreiber* and Loic Bettendorf*
Spain (Saturday): Sofia Revert Rodriguez* and Felipe Orts*
Switzerland: Alessandra Keller and Kevin Kühn*
*Asterisk denotes a successful title defence.
Norbert Riberolle headlines day 1 of CX national champs weekend
After the intensity and drama of the Kerstperiode, the second weekend of January is always reserved for the cyclocross national championships. Though there are events spread across both days, Saturday was something of an appetiser as jerseys were awarded in Spain, Germany, France and Belgium, with only Czechia handing out all titles (junior and elite) on the opening day.
The biggest names competing on Saturday were at the icy waterlogged Belgian elite women's race. This was an event dominated for 15 years by Sanne Cant, whose reign was ended last season by Marion Norbert Riberolle – Cant stepped aside knowing she would retire at the end of the season and wanting to see the tricolore shown off for the entire 12 months. This year, Norbert Riberolle was able to defend her title, though it was touch and go after a self-proclaimed weak start. 21-year-old Fleur Moors was a brilliant second 17 seconds off the pace.
Other champions included Czech teenage sensation Krystof Bazant in the elite men's category alongside now-five-time defending champion Kristýna Zemanová.
'Another new beginning' for Jakobsen ahead of 2026
Fabio Jakobsen has revealed a cautious approach to 2026 in what he and Picnic-PostNL hope will see the Dutchman put years of bad luck behind him. He's set to kick things off at the sprinter-friendly AlUla and UAE Tours in late January and early February, then return to Europe for a series of Belgian Classics starting at Le Samyn and building towards the Scheldeprijs on 8th April – the UAE Tour and Brugge-De Panne are notably the only WorldTour level events on his schedule for now.
"Do I see this as a new beginning? Another new beginning," Jakobsen told Wielerflits. "I consider myself a natural optimistic. I like positivity. That's because I've been so close to the end. I spent two days in intensive care after that crash in Poland, where I feared for my life. Everything that happens to me now is less bad than that, that's how it feels."
The sprinter endured a pretty disastrous start to his three-year contract with Picnic-PostNL from 2024, which was meant to come as a fresh start following six storied years with Soudal-QuickStep, including a horrific life- and career-threatening crash at the 2020 Tour of Poland. After a disappointing 2024, 2025 was punctured by surgery to treat a narrowed pelvic artery – a diagnosis that came as a relief to Jakobsen who'd struggled to make an impact where he belonged. The early signs during his lengthy recovery were good and a rejuvenated Jakobsen worked his way slowly back into competition, only to see his resumed season ended prematurely by a broken collarbone.
The now-29-year-old was conspicuously absent from Picnic-PostNL's published goals for 2026, with sprint hopes pinned on Pavel Bittner and Giro stage-winner Casper van Uden – Max Poole taking up the GC gauntlet left by Oscar Onley – but Jakobsen hasn't gone anywhere.
"I have the goal for myself that I will be relevant again in the finals, then the rest," Jakobsen said. "By that I mean that at least I have enough overview to make choices. That I have another sprint in my legs to sprint from eighth place to fifth, or from fifth to the podium or even further. I will have to build that step by step. It is not very realistic to say that I want to win another stage in the AlUla Tour right away. First I want to get back to a place where I am able to sprint ... After the Scheldt Prize, we take stock of the first time.”
Eli Iserbyt is forced into medical retirement from cyclocross
Belgian cyclocross racer Eli Iserbyt will retire with immediate effect, he announced Thursday night in a short but emotional message on social media.
The 28-year-old has not raced since the conclusion of the 2024/25 season as he has sought treatment for persistent blood flow issues and pain in his left leg. Iserbyt's condition involved the left inguinal artery rather than the iliac artery that is commonly involved in arterial endofibrosis in cyclists. But four surgeries failed to fix the problem and Iserbyt said that he is still unable to ride or run without significant pain.
In November, "I was given a plan to gradually build up my training load," he said according to Sporza. "But when I was allowed to do everything at the training again, it deteriorated very quickly in a week. Anything above a heart rate of 100 caused a huge pain in my leg."
Iserbyt won 17 World Cups and two overall season titles. He was the 2024 Belgian national champion and has won the European Championships and several U23 World Championships. But the end came abruptly, he said. "I didn't want to stop at all, that's not in me," but his doctors advised that medical interventions had run their course and further surgeries weren't an option.
Strava adds ex-Netflix/Spotify CFO Barry McCarthy to its board
Strava has appointed Barry McCarthy to its board of directors, adding the former Netflix and Spotify CFO and ex-Peloton CEO at a moment when the company is looking to grow substantially, and is exploring an IPO.
McCarthy was CFO at Netflix through its 2002 IPO and transition into streaming, then as CFO at Spotify, he led the company's direct listing, and most recently restructured the business at Peloton as its CEO.
"Barry brings exceptional technology leadership, along with financial discipline, strategic insight, and experience guiding iconic consumer platforms through moments of transformation," said Strava CEO Michael Martin in a press release. "As Strava continues its exceptional trajectory, we are assembling a board of highly skilled, strategic leaders to help guide our sustained growth as we build a durable company with the ambition to become a defining global brand for the next 100 years."
If Strava continues to pursue becoming a publicly traded company, McCarthy sure bolsters its board-level experience. Separately, The Information reported on Friday that Strava has filed a confidential S-1 registration with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and has retained investment bank Goldman Sachs to help steer its coming IPO. An S-1 is essentially a pre-IPO prospectus that details a company's financial performance, business model and investment risks, as well as outlines a plan for what the company will use IPO proceeds for. Companies can file confidentially as they revise the document, which will eventually be made public shortly before the actual IPO date.
Focus scraps JAM² NEXT e-MTB following Rein4ced bankruptcy
Focus has cancelled its plans to launch the JAM² NEXT e-MTB after the frame supplier Rein4ced announced it has filed for bankruptcy earlier this week. The unreleased e-MTB was developed around Rein4ced's recyclable thermoplastic carbon fibre frame and European manufacturing.
Focus said the setback in the project is frustrating, and added that the bike is fully developed and tested, but will now remain only a concept of what a recyclable, production-ready bike could look like.
Soudal-Quick Step extends Magnier and signs a new deal with sponsor Soudal
Even in January, Soudal-Quick Step is busy signing contracts. The Belgian team announced on Thursday that it has extended Paul Magnier, one of the team's biggest stars in this post-Remco Evenepoel era, with the Frenchman now signed on through 2029.
Meanwhile, title sponsor Soudal, a Belgian-based company that makes sealants, adhesives, and other building materials, has signed on to sponsor the team through 2030, providing the squad with a bit more financial security for the foreseeable future.
Tailfin announces the HydroMount
While not the first of its kind, the new Tailfin HydroMount looks to be a clever way to add water bottles or cargo cages to bike frames in areas lacking bottle bosses. The UK-based brand claims its V-Mount technology, which is used throughout its existing top tube and frame bags, "delivers a clean, purpose-built alternative that looks, and performs, like part of the bike." Additionally, it is said to be the only product of its kind to combine overmoulded rubber protection and integrated threaded inserts while retaining a low stack height.
Each HydroMount has a load capacity of 1 kg with 2 straps or 1.5 kg with 3 straps. It features standard 64 mm mounting holes, comes with a bolt set and straps, and is claimed to fit into a standard tool roll when not in use. Pricing is UK£20 / US$28 / EU€25 for the base model (2 straps) and £25 / $35 / €30 for the full version (3 straps). Tailfin
Endura to relocate from Scotland and cut staff
Endura is relocating from its Scottish base and reducing staff, according to several posts by current employees. The brand's parent company, Pentland Brands, said the move will streamline marketing, product and finance operations and concentrate roles into a new London hub. In a statement, it also said the shift is meant to "deliver innovative products to market faster" and expand marketing in key international markets.
The move follows two consecutive years of financial difficulties for Endura: it reported a £14m loss between January 2023 and February 2024, and a further £4.7m loss in the following year. Sales fell from £40.8m (2023) to £28.5m (2024), with a steep profit decrease from £18.8m to £3.7m over the same period. Pentland said Endura remains 'performing well' and is expected to return to growth.
Founded in 1993 by Jim McFarlane in Livingston, Endura has built its reputation on Scottish-designed kit tested in the harsh and wet conditions, and through the years has produced a wide variety of apparel from club and commuter kit to custom race kit for elite road and MTB teams. Pentland Group acquired Endura in 2018.
Thermoplastic composites maker Rein4ced files for bankruptcy
Rein4ced, the Belgian thermoplastic carbon fibre and composites manufacturer, has filed for bankruptcy, marking a serious setback to European carbon fibre frame and component production.
In a LinkedIn post, Rein4ced co-founder Michaël Callens said the company "ran out of options" at the end of December and confirmed the bankruptcy filing, adding that the team had pushed thermoplastic composite technology forward but lacked the time to "show its potential in other products and markets", such as aerospace and defence.
Rein4ced was founded to bring carbon frame manufacturing to Europe and reduce reliance on Asian supply chains, and secured backing from institutional investors to open its automated plant in Herent, Belgium, in 2019. In 2020, it won a flagship deal to produce carbon frames for Accell Group, the company behind brands such as Lapierre, Haibike and Raleigh, and last year it collaborated with Focus on the Jam² Next thermoplastic carbon fibre mountain bike.
Rein4ced's financial results from 2024 show the business never reached profitability. It reported losses of some US$25.8 million from 2021 to 2024, and its assets decreased from US$9.8 million in 2021 to US$68,000 in 2024, while its revenue stayed low or non-existent. In the five years of operating, the company also had several leadership changes and capital injections, the last of which was US$817,000 in November 2025.
Jay Vine victorious in men’s Australian TT championship
Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates) has taken the win in the men’s elite time trial at the Australian Road Nationals, taking the green and gold jersey for a second time since his breakthrough win in 2023.
Vine was the fastest on the road for the majority of the intermediate splits, riding the lumpy 39.1 km circuit at a blistering average speed of 50.0 km/h and putting more than 30 seconds into second place finisher Oliver Bleddyn (Team Brennan) and Kelland O’Brien (third, 40.9 seconds back).
In one of the bigger surprises of the 2026 nationals, multiple-time national champion Luke Plapp failed to feature, finishing 2.44” off the pace in eighth position.
Vine’s rise in the discipline was confirmed at last year’s World Championships in Rwanda, where he finished second behind Remco Evenepoel.
The Australian road champs continue with the road races this week.
Felicity Wilson-Haffenden wins Australian TT championship
Felicity Wilson-Haffenden (Lidl-Trek) has won the women’s elite individual time trial at the 2026 Australian National Championships, holding off defending champion Brodie Chapman (UAE-Team ADQ) by three seconds.
On an undulating 29.3 km course around Perth’s Bold Park, Wilson-Haffenden led throughout, carrying a 22 second advantage at the intermediate split before her former teammate Chapman closed in over the remainder of the race – but not enough to take the win. Josie Talbot (Jayco-Alula) rounded out the podium.
The result marks the 20-year-old’s first win since turning pro in 2024 – a deal with Lidl-Trek that was confirmed off her impressive 2023 season, which saw her win the junior women’s ITT at the Glasgow Worlds, as well as a sweep of podiums at the junior national and continental championships.
After back-to-back top 10s, Storer is gearing up for the Giro again in 2026
The Giro d'Italia's 10th overall finisher in 2024 and 2025 is running it back in 2026. At Tudor's media day on Wednesday, the team announced the plans of its marquee riders, with Stefan Küng and Julian Alaphilippe unsurprisingly targeting the cobbled and Ardennes Classics, respectively, while Michael Storer sets his sights yet again on the Giro.
The 2025 season proved to be a career year for the 28-year-old Australian, who also won the Tour of the Alps and landed on a Monument podium at Il Lombardia. He is hoping to improve on his already solid Giro track record this time around, while also eyeing a return to the Tour de France, telling Escape Collective that he is currently on the long list for selection.
Van Aert could soon be back on the bike, Strade Bianche still a goal
Wout van Aert is currently recovering from surgery to treat an ankle fracture suffered at Exact Cross Mol, but the Belgian star is optimistic that his 2026 road campaign will not be too dramatically affected by the injury layoff.
According to Het Laatste Nieuws, even though walking and running will be a challenge in the short term, riding indoors could soon be possible for Van Aert as he recovers. He is reportedly hoping still to be able to participate in a February training camp with Strade Bianche as a first major goal of the season. [Het Laatste Nieuws]
Tom Dumoulin named director of the Amstel Gold Race
Former Dutch pro and Giro d'Italia winner will take over the leadership of the Amstel Gold Race in 2027. Dumoulin, who retired from racing in August of 2022, will work alongside longtime race director Leo van Vliet in 2026 and then take over sole leadership for the 2027 edition. That handover will give Dumoulin, who does not have experience as a race director, a chance to learn the ropes.
The Amstel Gold Race celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. The WorldTour one-day event is part of the hilly Ardennes Classics schedule along with Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Fleche Wallonne. In recent years, the race has dealt with challenges due to a shortage of police personnel for course marshalling and closures, an issue that's contributed to the shutdown of other races like the women's Ronde van Drenthe.
Sammie Maxwell to skip 2026 XC season
In an Instagram post from the UCI MTB World Series, it has been announced that the 2025 Women's XCO World Cup overall series winner will not race in 2026.
2025 was a breakthrough season for the 24-year-old. Standing on the podium in nine out of 10 XCO World Cup rounds, as well as claiming wins in both Araxá I and Pal Arinsal. However, according to the post, Maxwell is taking a step back while the opportunity is there, before building towards the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Park Tool's Calvin Jones to retire after 28 years
Calvin Jones, Park Tool's director of education and the moustachioed face of the brand's maintenance videos, has announced he will retire after 28 years with the company. Jones joined Park Tool in 1997 and became one of the world's most well-known bike mechanics through 15 years of YouTube how-tos, alongside product development and customer support duties at the American bike maintenance brand.
Jones, who started out in a bike shop in 1973 and went on to work as a USA Cycling team mechanic and an instructor at the US Olympic Training Centre, among other roles in the industry, said he plans to pursue new education projects, get more fit, and focus more on riding bikes.
Venezuela's Vuelta a Táchira plans to start as normal
The first UCI-rated road race of 2026 will start on Friday, January 9 as planned in Venezuela despite the weekend attack in Caracas by the United States, according to Dan Challis' Global Peloton newsletter. Challis wrote Tuesday that the Vuelta a Táchira's pre-race press conference will proceed and the governor of Táchira state confirmed the race would run as normal.
The UCI 2.2-rated Vuelta a Táchira, run continuously since 1989, is one of the oldest events on the UCI's America's Tour calendar. The 10-day race starts and finishes in San Cristobal, an inland city near the Colombian border. The 17 teams on the initial startlist are all from South and Central America and are predominantly club teams.

Matte Gold for Chris King's 50th anniversary
Chris King Precision Components turns 50 this year.

BBB launches CoreCap Presta valve adaptor
BBB has launched a new valve adaptor, the CoreCap, which can replace a standard Presta valve core. The Dutch brand claims the valve offers up to 300% more airflow while remaining compatible with regular Schrader-style pump heads, as well as addressing the fragile construction of traditional valve cores.
It works with tubeless or tubes (with removable cores) and is available as complete valves in 40/60/80 mm lengths as a retrofit kit. Pricing is set to start at £25/30€ for valve sets and £15/17€ for the upgrade kits.
ICC sets $25m value on Zaugg's 47% Scott stake
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has set a provisional valuation of just under 20 million Swiss francs (US$25 million) for Beat Zaugg's 47% shareholding in Scott Sports, ordering the former CEO to sell his remaining stake to the current majority owner, Youngone Corporation. The ICC valuation marks a sharp decline from 2015, when Zaugg sold a comparable proportion to Youngone for US$169 million.
The Korean outdoor apparel and footwear company, which now owns 97% of Scott Sports, will pay three-quarters of the sum to Zaugg imminently, while the remaining is placed in a trust until its definitive price is confirmed.
The December valuation follows the ICC's February 2025 ruling that cleared Youngone to enforce a disputed purchase option over Zaugg's shares, ending a power battle that started in 2022, when Youngone sued the former CEO at ICC for breach of the shareholder agreement. The dispute escalated in 2024, shortly after Youngone injected the company with US$188 million in emergency funding and months later, removed Zaugg as CEO. While Zaugg refused to accept the change, Juwon Kim and long-time Scott executive Pascal Ducrot were confirmed as co-CEOs in August 2024 to refocus on Scott's bike business, which accounts for 80% of the company's revenue.
Amanda Spratt will retire at the end of 2026
Australian veteran Amanda Spratt (Lidl-Trek) has announced that the 2026 road racing season will be her last in the professional peloton.
In an Instagram post on Sunday evening Australian time, the 38-year-old revealed that she still loves racing, but that she wants to "choose where [her] finish line is".
"Cycling has given so much to me," she wrote. "It’s part of who I am and always will be. One thing that I’m really grateful for about my career is the longevity that I’ve had & there are so many people that have supported me both near & far over the last 30 years.
"Announcing now means that I get the chance to share every moment of my last season in the peloton with those who have made my career so special."
Spratt goes into her final season with 21 professional victories – including three overall victories at the Tour Down Under and a Giro d'Italia stage win – plus a silver medal at the 2018 Road Worlds.
She joins several Australians who have made moves toward retirement in recent times. Sarah Roy, Miles Scotson, Michael Hepburn, Alex Edmondson, and Nathan Earle are among those who finished up at the end of 2025 while Simon Clarke is due to close out his career at the upcoming Australian summer races.
