Zwift announced that the latest update included some ride leader tools. Today during the Friday Criterium Series race we saw a preview of some of these features as Charlie Issendorf (Vice President of Events at Zwift) led the Zwift HQ ride. You can see a shield next to his name in the rider list, as well as a large shield/arrow over his avatar.
Additionally, when the leader sends a text message, the message shows up with a very obvious yellow background.
I’m happy to see this, because it will let us easily spot the ride leader, which means the groups will do a better job of following that leader. Nice work, Zwift!
Currently these features are only available to certain leaders of official Zwift rides, but we should see them released to “the masses” soon enough.
