Who Turns Pro & Who Goes Home? | Zwift Academy 2025 Ep. 4

Welcome to the Zwift Academy finale! 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? And which two will earn the life-changing pro contracts? 🚴‍♂️🔥
