    Zwift Racing (Zwift PowerUp Cycling Podcast #21)

    From using PowerUps to bike selection and course tactics, this episode is full of ways you can nudge your way up the result sheet. Topics include:

    • Race types, including less traditional races such as pursuits, handicaps, and hill climbs
    • Starting your race (it’s worth digging deep!)
    • Drafting: double draft, Zwift accuracy and more
    • Sprint finish tips
    • Powerups: which ones to use when
    • New hill climb race routes including Alpe du Zwift and after party routes
    • Kit selection: choosing the fastest equipment
    • Tactics for different courses
    • Using Zwift racing in your training

    Note: the coaches discuss how helmet choice affects your speed in game. We at Zwift Insider have a different opinion, at least with the current crop of helmets…

    About the Podcast:

    The Zwift PowerUp Cycling Podcast features training tips from host Matt Rowe (Rowe & King), with regular co-hosts Greg Henderson (Coach Hendy) and Kev Poulton (Powerhouse Cycling).
