Creating a WTRL Zwift Cycle Team

Introduction to WTRL Zwift Cycling

If you're a serious cyclist looking for a way to stay in top form even when you can't hit the road, you've probably heard of Zwift. This online platform allows you to race and train on virtual courses with other riders from all over the world, all from the comfort of your own home. If you're really serious about Zwift racing, you may have already heard of WTRL - the Zwift Racing League that has taken the virtual cycling world by storm.

WTRL is a team-based league, which means you need to be part of a team to compete. If you're thinking about running a team for WTRL, here are some things to keep in mind:

Get a Good Group of Riders

The first step to running a successful WTRL team is to find a good group of riders. Ideally, you want to have a mix of strong climbers, sprinters, and time trialists, so that you can compete in all of the different types of races that WTRL offers. You'll also want to make sure that everyone on your team is committed to training and racing regularly, and that they are willing to communicate and work together as a team.

Pick a Good Team Name and Logo

This may seem like a small detail, but having a good team name and logo can really help to build team spirit and make your team stand out in the WTRL community. Make sure your name and logo are memorable and easy to recognize. At ABR we run over 10 different team on the WTRL series, several of our teams carry sponsors name such as ABR Bloobo Web Design and ABR Lapping-Services, adding sponsors names help our riders perform better as they are respresenting a in real life brand.

Create a Team Discord, WhatsApp, Messenger or Facebook Group

Communication is key when it comes to running a WTRL team. You'll need to be able to communicate with your riders about training schedules, race times, and tactics during races. Creating a Discord, WhatsApp, Messenger or Facebook group is a good way to keep everyone on the same page.

Set Goals and Training Plans

Before you start competing in WTRL races, it's important to set some goals for your team. Do you want to win the league, or are you just looking to have fun and improve your fitness? Once you've set your goals, you can create training plans that will help your riders improve their fitness and reach their full potential.

Zwiftpower

Create your team on Zwiftpower and make sure all your riders join here also. ZwiftPower was a third-party website (now part of zwift itself) and tool that enhances the experience of using Zwift, a popular virtual cycling and running platform. ZwiftPower provides additional features that are not available on the standard Zwift platform, including more detailed race results, leader boards, and analysis tools for athletes, teams, and event organizers.



ZwiftPower pulls data from the Zwift platform, processes it, and presents it in a more organized and detailed way. This includes more detailed information on race results, such as the average power output and heart rate of individual athletes, as well as information on individual sprints and lap times.

Scout Out the Competition

One of the keys to success in WTRL is knowing your competition. Before each race, make sure to study the course and the other teams that will be competing. This will help you to develop a strategy and tactics that can give you an edge in the race. Zwiftpower is a great source for this data along with zrace.bike race predictor, these can help identify your main competition.

Have Fun!

At the end of the day, WTRL is about having fun and pushing yourself to be the best cyclist you can be. Make sure to enjoy the experience and celebrate your team's successes along the way.

In conclusion
