"We were looking for a partner willing to invest in the discipline to evolve the sport, and MyWhoosh met that standard. They were willing to invest financially and dedicate resources. Not to say the others weren't, certainly not. Everybody was willing to invest, but we felt that the investment MyWhoosh was willing to make would help legitimise and stabilise the sport for the next three years. Simple as that."
"On August 17th, 2023, the UCI announced that virtual platform MyWhoosh would host the next three UCI Cycling Esports World Championships. The partnership has returned several firsts for the fledgling discipline, including a democratic public qualification pathway, performance verification of all 200-plus racers in the semi-finals, robust anti-doping measures, standardisation of all of the smart trainers, and the first live in-person final."
"The Cycling Esports World Championships will take place on October 26th at the ADNEC Marina Hall in Abu Dhabi, UAE. All finalists will compete on MyWhoosh, but from the event venue in front of a live audience rather than from home. All 42 competitors are being flown to the venue by the organisers."
