The Zwift Academy offers budding riders the chance to use their virtual racing skills to secure themselves a real-life professional contract, Alpecin-Fenix taking on the male winner and Canyon SRAM for the women.
2020 brings in a new format, where riders will take on daily Zwift challenges, with video teams accompanying each rider on their home roads to help viewers get to know them better.
The event ends with a live broadcast of the finals, which will be streamed online on Saturday December 19.
Here are the riders who will be vying for those pro contracts.
