Atlanta, GA, Jan. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Supersapiens and EOLO-KOMETA Cycling Team are proud to announce a partnership for the 2022 race season. Powered by Abbott’s Libre Sense Glucose Sport Biosensor, a revolutionary window into the body, Supersapiens delivers innovative insights that will help the Italian-registered team make informed fueling decisions to optimize training and recovery. The EOLO-KOMETA Cycling Team is a UCI ProTeam and in 2021, the squad appeared in its first Grand Tour, the Giro d’Italia where Lorenzo Fortunato made history by winning Stage 14.

“EOLO-KOMETA’s success over the past few years has been impressive to watch. What stood out to us at Supersapiens is their core mission to promote healthy lifestyle habits and to use the bike as a platform to inspire positive and lasting behavior change,” said Phil Southerland, CEO and Founder of Supersapiens.

The Supersapiens and EOLO-KOMETA relationship was born during this year’s Mallorca 312 presented by Supersapiens Gran Fondo. It was there that Southerland connected with Alberto Contador, and a brief conversation showcased how aligned the two are around a collective mission.

“Alberto fundamentally understands the value of a successful fueling strategy and also has vivid stories that illuminate the consequences of nutritional mistakes,” Southerland said. “Quickly we recognized the opportunity to empower all of EOLO-KOMETA – from the juniors to the pros – and saw a path to help them avoid some of the challenges that young riders experience. I am excited to support a young and hungry team and ready to watch them battle it out against the best in the world.”

For any athlete, energy management is key to success. Paired to the Abbott glucose sport biosensor, the Supersapiens app and Energy Band will be the unlock for glucose control and energy management for EOLO-KOMETA riders and staff. With real-time glucose data and powerful analytics, they have the tools to optimize performance and recovery nutrition. The Supersapiens Energy Band, Version Zero is the first and only performance wearable device that is capable of reading glucose data directly from a biosensor. It can be worn on the wrist or attached to a bike’s handlebars, syncs directly with Abbott’s biosensor via Bluetooth, and displays minute-by-minute glucose data.
