The Pace Partners are officially graduating from FutureWorks! The Pace Partners have been hard at work learning new skills, studying new roads and honing their craft as the ultimate domestiques. Join the Pace Partner Graduation events from August 23 to September 5th to try out the new Pace Partner event experience and celebrate as the Pace Partners begin their next journey on the roads of Zwift.

ABOUT THIS EVENT

The Pace Partners are feeling competitive and they're ready to race! We know that Pace Partners are excellent pacers but they're still newcomers on the racing scene and will need your help to succeed. They've paced you around the roads of Zwift for countless hours and now it's time for you to return the favor and deliver them to the top step of the podium.

YOUR MISSION
Become the ultimate teammate as you take turns on the front pulling your team to glory. Your goal is not to win the race as an individual, but to work together to help your team defeat all others to the finish.

PRO TIPS
Drafting: Pace Partners are excellent drafters. While they may hold a steady power output, they greatly benefit from the draft and a strong, consistent pull will increase their speed.
Positioning: Be careful not to lead out your Pace Partner by a great margin. Blob up as a team in front of your Pace Partner to create a pocket of air for your Pace Partner to sit in and keep pulling!
Pacing: Gradually increase your speed to the point at which the Pace Partner has maxed their ability to hold your wheel. Stay focused, keep a steady pace and don't drop your Pace Partner!
