Just ride.

Don't know if this is really a racing question...
I noticed last summer that you never see Descente cycling gear anymore. Several years ago, that was one of the class brands. Anybody know what happened to them?

I saw a really good review of their winter gloves.
It's always been quality stuff - I have a jacket that's lasted for over 20 years now.

Descente USA is now part of Veltec - the company that distributes Colnago, Sidi, and some other products in the US.
