In The Draft — Episode 1 | Powered by Leadout

In the debut episode of In The Draft, host Nathan Guerra sits down with Anna Russell to mark the transition from Zwift Community Live and The Wrap into a newly rebranded show and platform under Leadout.

The episode explores recent developments across the cycling esports landscape, including reflections on the UCI Cycling Esports World Championships, the 2025 Zwift Games, and the emergence of TrainingPeaks Virtual. With so much happening, the question arises—are we witnessing the evolution of virtual cycling into a recognized sporting discipline?

Additional highlights:

• Zwift Games breakdown and community reactions to recent commentary debates
• Details on Zwift update 1.86 and the implications to community of new equipment upgrades
• The newly announced UK Esports Championships and Leadout’s role in the partnership

A new era in virtual cycling coverage begins here.
