Meet Sam Holness (aka “Super Sam”), a triathlete with autism, and his father/coach Tony. Sam will make history this month as the first openly autistic athlete to compete at the Mainova IRONMAN Frankfurt European Championships. And he’ll do it again at the Supersapiens IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, later this fall. It’s fair to say that this dynamic father/son duo is taking the triathlon world by storm, but the impact they are having on neurodivergent individuals, and everyone else they meet, reaches far beyond the podium.
The Redlands Bicycle Classis is the longest continuously running invitational stage race in the country. Known throughout the world as the race "Where Legends are Born," this race has hosted riders who have gone on to compete in the Olympics, Tour de France and other world championships. Read along as coach Grant Holicky recounts Blue-Stages Racing team’s great foray into the road racing racing scene at this legendary event.
Only sixty (30 men and 30 women) cyclists are selected to ride in the Life Time Grand Prix and Stages Cycling’s own Hannah Otto is one of them. We had the chance to catch up with Otto as she prepared to take on the first race in the series. She had a lot to say about how training with power has charted her career and spurred her on to the massive success she’s been having.

Professional athletes are supposed to be inspiring. Most of the time they inspire with feats on the field, trail or road, but more often than not their most inspiring efforts come on more personal terms and in places we rarely have the chance to see.
