The organisation imposed sanctions of a one-year complete suspension against Clark, prohibiting him from participating in any USA Cycling activities in any capacity, and a three-year coaching license suspension. Clark sold his shop ProBike FC in late 2020, and is no longer involved in cycling.įollowing the CyclingTips feature, Clark’s story was front-cover news in The Weekend Australian’s business section (‘ Tour de Fraud: Cycling spin exposes an ASX Walter Mitty‘, May 14-15 2022).

An initial complaint against Clark was filed with USA Cycling in September 2019, but closed a week later due to a lack of supporting evidence, allowing Clark to continue coaching.Ĭlark’s fabricated pro cycling career was, as it turns out, just the tip of the iceberg. Off the back of that claimed cycling experience, Clark established and coached a women’s cycling team, and was also involved with the elite-level Kelly Benefits Strategies team, before suspicions arose about the legitimacy of his story. Clark said that he had raced for major teams including AG2R-Casino, riding events including Tour of Flanders, Paris-Nice, and Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

Please be patient and only contact us if you haven’t hear from us two weeks from the time you submitted your application.More than three years after a complaint was first lodged against him, Nicholas Clark – the subject of a major CyclingTips investigative feature – has been suspended by USA Cycling. We’re a small company, so while we’ll try to get your application processed as quickly as possible, it can take up to two weeks. Alternatively, we love for you to share your love for the brand and product, just not the price you paid. If we get wind that you have discussed your pro form in a public setting - this includes shops, on the trail, or at the local watering hole - chances are your pro status will be revoked because we will hear about it. Pro deals are like Fight Club and the number one rule in Fight Club is we don’t talk about it. We also reserve the right to revoke pro status. If you’re that type, we encourage you to apply.
We like people who volunteer at races, help kids ride bikes, donate to bike related causes, or pick up a shovel and pitch in on trail work days. Our pro deal program is offered to those in the industry who’ve been good stewards in the bike community. We’re more discerning about who we offer bike pro deals to because it’s a more technical purchase and requires a certain mechanical aptitude to assemble and set-up correctly. Depending on your affiliation, we offer pro deals on bicycles and apparel, but not necessarily both.
It’s our hope that those who ride our bikes and use our apparel become lifelong Yeti freaks and help us grow and prosper in the outdoor community.
We offer pro deals to key bicycle and outdoor industry folks. AT THIS TIME, PRO PURCHASE/PRO DEALS ON BIKES HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED UNTIL INVENTORY ALLOWS.
