Of the 160,000 Zwifters who participated in Zwift Academy Road, some had their eyes on a life-changing prize: pro bike racing contracts for 2023

There were two up for grabs: one from CANYON//SRAM and another from Alpecin-Deceuninck.

The ten finalists hailed from Australia, America, and many countries in between. They met this fall in Denia, Spain to fight for those contracts.

If you followed their journey on GCN, you know the competition was fierce. And if not, stop reading here — spoiler alert— the winners’ names are below.

Join these champs for a ride, share a Ride On, and ask a question or two.

Without further ado, drum roll please…

The 2022 Zwift Academy Road winners are Luca Vergallito and Alex Morrice.

Join Alex on a casual spin with her new team CANYON//SRAM.

Alex graduated this summer with a degree in chemistry and physics from the University of Bath. Diploma in hand, she committed to pursuing a pro cycling career.

"Sport has always been at the center of my life, and I have found my immense passion and enjoyment for cycling, for which I work hard to achieve my goals, always looking to learn and improve. I thrive from strong relationships with a team and coaches," she said.
