Trailforks Introduces New 'Traildar' Feature
This is a cool idea. I appreciate the trailforks dev team and how they add these very specific little features fairly frequently

Mathieu Van Der Poel Signs Unprecedented 10 Year Contract with Canyon
@vinay: He's simply so fucking strong. World tour roadies are basically the fittest cyclists you can find. There aren't many others in the CX field that could be a threat in an actual road race. He can drop in and straight up ride off the front.

Ari Factory Racing Signs Kailey Skelton, Nikolas Nestoroff, Jakob Snow & Justin Fierro
@joecrosby: astroturfing is when a corporation tries to spread fake grass roots support for a product/movement/event. Fake grass roots = astro turf. In this example there were a bunch of comments on the Ari article written by employees of the company, which is a cringey look. Basically pretending to be super stoked fans of the brand and drum up positive comments.

Velo Digest: Plastic Bikes, Outrageous TT Helmet Designs, Maxing Out On Caffeine, & More
there's definitely no real intention of selling it. In UCI road racing, all gear must be publicly available products that anyone can purchase. There are some exceptions they can apply for under a "prototyping" phase, but the expectation is that it will be available to purchase by the public. For that reason, you see some completely bizarre shit (mostly in the TT space) that is "priced" at an outrageous amount. I think there is a $6000 skinsuit floating around. The goal obviously is to make it available, but not actually produce/sell any of them.
