World Champs In Scotland – You Can Ride Them At Home!
Scotland hosts the first Super Worlds - almost all the disciplines crowning champs the same weekend, in the same place. You can be there, too!
Are you ready for Super Worlds in Scotland next week? The team at Zwift certainly is. With many of the major cycling disciplines—track, road and MTB, including downhill, marathon and eMTB in addition to XCO—coming together in Scotland for eight days of all-out competition, it’s easy to get caught up in the hype. If you weren’t fast enough to qualify for Worlds yourself or baller enough to buy plane tickets to Scotland to watch in real time, you can still get a sense of the course on Zwift.
From July 31, through August 27, you can test out four virtual versions of Scottish rides similar to the courses the athletes at World Championships will be competing on starting Saturday, August 5. Each week, a new format will be featured on Zwift, so plan for at least one of your training rides to be done inside in the next month.
