Alpine to debut hydrogen ICE-powered Alpenglow supercar at Spa. By Charlie Currie French sports car manufacturer Alpine plans to run a hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) supercar at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps endurance race in May 2024. Dubbed Alpenglow, the concept car originally revealed in 2022 was described as the “starting point” of all of Alpine’s future designs. Details about the single-seater are thin on the ground, but at five metres long, the car will hold two 700-bar hydrogen tanks to fuel the hydrogen ICE for its three laps of the 4.35-mile Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium on May 11, 2024. Having hosted 56 Formula 1 Grand Prix since its first race in 1950, the circuit combines long straights and fast technical corners, including the famous Raidillon de l’Eau Rogue. Alpine said, “Alpenglow embodies the future of Alpine design in motorsport, as well as for future series production models. It is also the brand’s laboratory for future sustainable mobility technologies with a hydrogen-powered ICE that will enhance driving pleasure tenfold.” As Alpine hopes its new hydrogen-powered Alpenglow will show staying power at Spa, perhaps it will inspire the Alpine F1 Team to find its winning formula that lasts longer than their recent venture on track. https://lnkd.in/dPRMQU8R

Another product launch done well. Today was the launch of Pinarello's updated Dogma F frame. Here is what I liked I knew beforehand, not every detail but I knew it was coming. I had the option to purchase a bike for the launch date. In this case, I didn't take advantage of it, but it was a welcome option that, with slightly different circumstances, I would have opted in. The launch to dealers was done in a common format now: a video conference. The story of the bike was told from the perspective of team Ineros riders. This makes perfect sense for riders who want tip-top performance or to emulate current top riders. This is who they will listen to current active professional riders. High-quality visual assets are available at launch to dealers to market to their customers. This is often missed by many brands. There is a solid selection of stills and videos to pre-sell the bikes to riders who want them. Pinarello's own site is fully updated as well. Media reviews were also made public at launch time. In my opinion, a bigger splash could have been made, but still, the bike is featured on the front page of the sites that get the most eyes. Three weeks ago, there were images of bikes on the team car, so savvy riders were clued in to this. I'll be looking forward to pedaling some miles on one.

The new DOGMA F is here. Designed thanks to the insights from the INEOS Grenadiers’ performance team, that measured Geraint Thomas's 2022 Tour de France performance data, this new model represents the importance of aerodynamic efficiency in cycling. In Grand Tours, just like with our daily rides, it’s not always an uphill time trial. We’re constantly riding on varied terrain. Examined objectively, aerodynamic gains are worth more than weight savings, and that’s why, with the new DOGMA F, we didn’t focus solely on saving weight. Yes, the new model is 108g lighter than the previous edition but our primary concern was to reduce the bike’s CdA (coefficient of aerodynamic drag) by 0.2%. "We are the fastest in the world, always. When we decide to take to the track, we do it to win. This then translates into data, information, intuitions that we feed into the DOGMA." - Fausto Pinarello Discover the new DOGMA F now: https://lnkd.in/d2ggX_Gf

Today is World Bicycle Day! And although we are active in the automotive sector, we always have points of contact with bicycles. When it comes to safety, we not only want to protect vehicle occupants, but also other road users outside the vehicle. For example, Door Opening Warner can protect passing cyclists from careless door opening. Cycling is also very popular with our colleagues at the moment. This year, we are once again taking part in the city cycling event and, as VAIVA, are busy collecting kilometers on our bikes. Vision Zero - getting to your destination safely and sustainably - as a living reality. #worldbicycleday #safety #safemobility #visionzero #vaiva #wearevaiva

What is Audax and How to Get Involved? 🚴♂️ Audax cycling, also known as randonneuring, is all about long-distance, non-competitive rides that test your endurance and self-sufficiency. The term "audax" comes from Latin, meaning "bold" or "courageous," perfectly capturing the spirit of these challenging events. Originating in France, audax events, or brevets, emphasise the journey and personal achievement over competition. Riders follow a set route and must finish within a time limit, but there's no race to the finish line. Results are listed alphabetically, not by who finished first. Ready to take on the challenge?

MXGP Announces Launch of Electric World Championship in 2026 ⚡🌍 The inaugural press conference of the 2024 season was jointly held by Infront Moto Racing CEO David Luongo, FIM/CMS Director Antonio Alia Portela, and David Eli, organizer of Patagonia-Argentina YPF INFINIA MXGP. Mr. Luongo made an electrifying announcement, stating, "With the significant progress in bicycle electrification over the past months and years, now is the perfect time to establish a new support category dedicated entirely to electric bikes. As the premier off-road motorcycle platform globally, MXGP should embrace this new technology." He continued, "Therefore, we're excited to announce that in 2026, we aim to collaborate with FIM and manufacturers to launch a specialized Electric World Championship, held concurrently with MXGP. Our goal is to host five to six races in Europe, allowing us two years to define bike regulations in partnership with FIM and manufacturers. This initiative will complement the MXGP weekend package and provide a professional platform for manufacturers to refine their product portfolios." Antonio Alia Portela, FIM/CMS Director, added, "I extend a warm welcome to everyone in Argentina and express my gratitude to all who made this event possible. We're working tirelessly to establish a new level for electric bikes, alongside MXGP, demonstrating the interest of new manufacturers. This initiative will create new opportunities for riders and generate employment while pushing the industry forward. Achieving our current standards is challenging, and without the organization David has built, it would be extremely difficult. We demand organizers exceed expectations, improve products, and offer better facilities. Everything is happening in an instant, and most of us will be flying back home on Monday. I'm delighted to be back here, and I wish you all a successful season." #MXGP #electricworldchampionship #motorsports #technology #innovation #sustainability #racingindustry
