Supersapiens, the glucose management system for athletes, powered by the Abbott Libre Sense Glucose Sport Biosensor, has extended its sponsorship for the upcoming 14th edition of the Mallorca 312.
The sold-out Spanish gran fondo on April 29, 2023, features some of the toughest climbs on the Spanish island, with glucose management and fuelling a requirement for riders.
“Supersapiens is eager to continue partnering with Mallorca 312 because to have a successful race across the extreme elevation changes and distance comes down to properly fuelling,” said Supersapiens CEO and Founder Phil Southerland.
“Supersapiens is a glucose management system that helps athletes optimize performance – both during training leading up to Mallorca 312 and during the actual event – and recovery.
“Supersapiens helps riders discover stable and sustainable fuel sources, allowing them to effectively glucose-load leading up to the big day in April. By having real-time glucose visibility, athletes can validate their nutrition choices and dial in their fuelling strategy.”
Mallorca 312 CEO and Founder Xisco Lliteras said “The synergies between Supersapiens as a product and Mallorca 312 as an event are clear and evident.
“Add in Phil’s cycling passion and the dedication from the entire Supersapiens team and it makes this collaboration very special for us. Mallorca 312 is a challenge for all our participants. The distance and duration they endure makes nutrition and therefore glucose essential during the challenge.
“Supersapiens is the perfect tool to help them achieve the best performance and make the Mallorca 312 a top experience.”
Supersapiens is the global exclusive distributor of the Abbott Libre Sense Glucose Sport Biosensor, which helps athletes visualize the connection between their glucose levels and perceived energy levels and guides them on ways to adjust behaviours to improve recovery and performance.
The Supersapiens ecosystem consists of the Supersapiens app, Supersapiens Energy Band, and Supersapiens Data Dashboard.
In October, Supersapiens announced an integration with Wahoo’s New ELEMNT ROAM and BOLT that allows for real-time glucose visibility where the Abbott Libre Sense Glucose Sport Biosensor connects directly with these devices, no longer requiring a phone to serve as the bridge. Supersapiens also integrates with select Garmin devices, Nolio app, Apple Health, and more.
“I am incredibly proud to work with Xisco and to get to call the entire Mallorca 312 team partners,” added Supersapiens’ Phil Southerland.
“This event truly is a bucket list event for anyone that rides a bike and enjoys a challenge. The roads are beautiful and the participants are noble. This has served as my yearly highlight on the bike now for two years running.”
The Supersapiens system powered by Abbott’s Libre Sense Glucose Sport Biosensor is now available in Austria, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
