About Esports Cycling
Esports cycling is a form of competitive cycling that takes place in virtual environments or simulations using video games or cycling-specific platforms. Players control digital avatars or characters as they navigate through virtual courses, replicating real-life cycling challenges such as drafting, sprinting, climbing, and tactical racing strategies. Popular platforms like, Zwift and RGT Cycling, offer multiplayer functionality, allowing cyclists worldwide to compete in real-time races, group rides, and organized events. Esports cycling serves not only as a competitive sport but also as a training tool for cyclists to improve their fitness, technique, and performance. With the growth of professional esports teams and competitions, esports cycling has become a popular and engaging blend of gaming and physical activity, fostering communities of cyclists and gamers globally.

Each selection committee includes at least one-third 10 Year Athlete Representatives as required by the USOPC Bylaws. Athlete Representatives on the selection committees are approved by USA Cycling’s Athletes’ Advisory Council.
