In Episode 40 of the Virtual Velo Podcast, Chris and Si welcome former Zwift employee Flint McInnis for an insightful, forward-thinking conversation on the state of racing on the platform. Flint, a Zwift competition team member and forum moderator, played a vital role in developing the Zwift Racing Score before being affected by Zwift’s recent restructuring.

During the episode, Flint shares insights into the development of the Zwift Racing Score and the challenges that hindered its implementation and delayed other platform features. He gives his opinion on the commitment to racing, cheating, the lost UCI Cycling Esports World Championship bid, and why he feels “Zwift should just pick a direction and go with it!”

Following the interview, Chris and Si had an in-depth discussion about several esports breaking news stories, including:

  • UCI’s release of National Federation Quotas for the World Championship Semi-Final
  • UCI’s Esports Director Michael Rogers’ departure
  • In-Person Live Event Finals in Sweden, Denmark, France, and Australia
  • Zwift Games Broadcast Viewership and Community Engagement
  • and is Zwift planning to roll out a VR headset?

Check out the articles cited in the episode for an even deeper dive.
