It's time for our @alpecindeceuninck and @canyonsramzondacrypto coaches to decide who will be crowned cycling's next superstar, and who will be going home empty-handed... After a global search on Zwift for the best cycling talent, eight riders were chosen to compete for two professional contracts. They’ve been tested on speed, power, bike handling, racing against pros, and working as a team. Now, it all comes down to the final challenge. How will they perform?
