The National Cycling League (NCL) announced a two-year collaboration with Wahoo Fitness to serve as the technology partner in “revolutionizing professional cycling in the United States”. The partnership will be used for fan interaction with racers at four NCL events as well as for the league-owned teams, Denver Disruptors and Miami Nights, at this year’s four criterium stops. 

The NCL calendar of invitation-only races begins in Miami Beach, Florida on April 8 and concludes in September in Washington, D.C., with the date pushed back one week from the 10th to 17th.
