THE COALITION

The Coalition was founded in January 2021 as a community project built around the elite Coalition Alpha team (then, Canyon Esports) which had launched exactly two years prior. Since launching the elite team, the first of it's kind in 2019, we had won every major competition there was to win. We also had the job of helping to build a racing scene that didn't exist at the elite level and to push Zwift to improve the standards of racing. Things like the mandatory use of direct-drive trainers, dual-recording and even DS pens were not around when we started, but all things we successfulyy lobbied for.
