Denver, Colorado – March 1, 2023 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – The Denver Disruptors Cycling Club, one of the premier professional teams in the National Cycling League, today announced their 2023 competition schedule as well as the list of world-class sponsors supporting their ride to the top of professional cycling in the United States.
Competition Schedule
The Denver Disruptors’ 2023 racing season begins on March 3 immediately following their pre-season training camp in Tucson, Arizona. In addition to competing for the $1 million prize purse across four National Cycling League Invitational races, the team will compete in top-tier road, criterium, and stage races nationwide.
“You can’t replicate the intensity and tension of racing in training, which means racing is one of the most important components of training,” said Svein Tuft, Head Coach of the Denver Disruptors. As an Olympian, 14-time National Champion, and UCI World Tour competitor who earned World Championship medals, is an expert in what it takes to compete at the top of the sport. “The Denver Disruptors are going to race to win throughout the season, and we’re putting a big emphasis on August when we have the opportunity to dominate a series of races in Colorado.”
Two-time Olympian and former UCI Women’s World Tour cyclist Leah Kirchmann commented, “After racing full-time in Europe for 7 seasons, I look forward to building something new in the sport as part of the Denver Disruptors. My teammates and I are excited by the opportunity and challenge of racing a comprehensive schedule throughout the United States in 2023.”
