This is the first eSport team of a World Tour team. Elite Cycling provides the team’s technical equipment by offering athletes an Elite pain cave that includes the Direto XR trainer and the electronic Sterzo Smart steering plate. The team’s riders will use the indoor trainer during training and in competitions on the Zwift Racing League calendar.

Out of 300 participants, 5 women and 5 men will be selected to wear the Spanish team’s jersey at the Zwift Racing League events after the selections.
