The popularity of cycling has further increased through the Metaverse, where it is the most popular participatory sport with over 10 million people riding in digital spaces. Historically, however, there has been little to no professional fandom in the US and no formal league has existed up until now with the debut of <b>The National Cycling League<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2022, the <b>NCL<\/b> was born out of an opportunity seen by CEO <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Paris Wallace<\/span><\/b>, who was inspired to reinvent a sport he personally loves by creating the league of the future using cycling as the platform. The league&#8217;s main mission is to reimagine cycling into a world-class, easy-to-watch spectator sport that is filled with nonstop action and drama and has mixed-gender teams where men and women contribute equally to the scoreboard. Current owners of the\u00a0league\u00a0include NBA star <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Bradley Beal<\/span><\/b>, former <i>Bachelorette <\/i><b><span class=\"xn-person\">Rachel Lindsay<\/span><\/b>, and the NFL&#8217;s<b> <span class=\"xn-person\">Jalen Ramsey<\/span><\/b>, <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Derwin James<\/span><\/b>, and <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Casey Hayward<\/span><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>The 2023<b> NCL<\/b> Cup is a series of four professional cycling races on the most recognizable streets in the most iconic cities in America, starting with the inaugural race in <span class=\"xn-location\">Miami Beach<\/span>, where the course spans from Ocean Drive towards Collins Avenue, down <span class=\"xn-location\">Washington<\/span> and back, making the course dynamic and easier to watch and the races more action packed for the viewer. Participating teams will compete and earn points in each race and be eligible to win parts of the over <span class=\"xn-money\">$1 million<\/span> purse prize, the largest in U.S. cycling history.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span class=\"xn-location\">Miami<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">South Florida<\/span> have one of the best cycling communities in the country,&#8221; says <b>Wallace<\/b>, &#8220;We chose <span class=\"xn-location\">Miami<\/span> for our inaugural event because it&#8217;s our way to highlight the amazing work being done by the <span class=\"xn-location\">Florida<\/span> cycling community.
