At the end of 2024, Zwift introduced the Zwift World Series, a multi-event series to replace the Grand Prix events that had come before. In that series our team had done very well, with the men winning in 2023 and the women taking the title in 2024. Both our men's and women's teams were particip...

The Zwift Racing League has been an ever-present staple in the Zwift racer’s calendar and the 2024/25 season was no different. The Coalition was yet again the 3rd biggest in the series for number of teams. A total of 45 COALITION teams took to the start pens throughout the three rounds and finals....

With the FRR Charity day up the Alpe just round the corner or (twenty one) I thought who could I possibly get some tips from on how to climb on Zwift? It’s not like we have anyone in the Coalition who likes a sport of elevation gain?

Who else than the climbing superstar himself, the Strava Ever...

I’ve been racing for a while, long before we had pens. But whilst my racing history is lengthy, I can’t say it has been very varied in the last few years. So I thought it was finally time to try something new.

The Coalition community was founded in order to compete in the community version of the...

Today marks our 4th birthday. It has been another wild year of racing and riding, and we are forever grateful to the amazing community we have. Thanks to everyone who continues to make the Coalition what it is!

It has been an exciting year where we have maintained our position as the 3rd biggest t...

The dust has now settled on the 4th UCI Esports World Championships and the first ever live final. All in all, the event was a massive success, and despite there being some areas in need of improvement, this was a big step forward for the sport. We have long called for a live final and it was great...

We are incredibly proud to announce our partnership with Verge to bring our wild and brash designs to life. Coalition elite riders will be racing in Verge’s exclusive Pain Cave collection, indoor-specific apparel engineered to keep athletes cool and dry during intense indoor workouts and races.

We are excited to bring you the updated Coalition community kit in collaboration with Verge. For 2024, you can now get this tweaked community design available in both Verge's outdoor and indoor 'pain cave' kit. As a community that specialises in indoor racing, we felt that being able to offer indo...

The Coalition community was founded in January 2021 and now has over 1,000 members. While that isn’t the biggest esports team operating on Zwift, IndieVelo or MyWhoosh, it definitely makes us one of the larger teams. Of course, not all members are active on the discord server or on the esports plat...

Three years ago, our elite team Coalition Alpha (then, CANYON ESPORTS) launched the CANYON DEV team. It was a unique U23 development programme for riders aged between 16 and 23 years old, with the ambition to nurture young talent and bring them through the ranks. We had a lot of success too: Micha...

It doesn't seem that long ago since we were celebrating the men's victory in the inaugural Zwift Grand Prix. But a lot can happen in 10 months. Whilst the men's team finished on a high – perfectly executing an astonishingly bold and ballsy plan of attack in the final race of the season, the women'...

After a very quick turnaround after the first round, the teams were back racing in Round 2! Managing so many teams is never an easy task, especially when the leagues and timezones are always changing, but we're a well-oiled machine and know what to expect. Overall, it was another successful six week...

Back in January 2019, I founded the world's first 'professional' eracing team: Coalition Alpha (Then, Canyon ZCC). We were the first team to have all riders on the same trainers and then later, using the same powermeters. We were also the first team to publicly outline our transparency guidelines...

The Coalition was back racing the Zwift Racing League after a break over the summer. As ever, we entered a significant number of teams and had some great results! Special mention goes to Eclipse and Horizon who both won their leagues. But not only that, we had a total of twelve teams finish on the p...

Since the Coalition was started back in January 2021, we have always had a focus and dedication to racing. This is why we are probably the only community that requires all riders racing in the Zwift Racing League to provide height and weight videos before being able to take to the start line. It's s...

As we start the year 2023, it's a great time to reflect on all that has happened over the past 12 months. From our personal milestones and achievements to the growth of The Coalition family, there's a lot to look back on and be grateful for. In this year's review blog, we'll look at some of the high...
