MYWHOOSH is it the future of CYCLING Esports?

This was very informative. Just bought my first indoor trainer and I am about to set it up with Mywhoosh. Thanks Sir 🙌🏾👍🏾👌🏾😎🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Great informative video Si, I didn’t know anything about Mywhoosh but now I do 😊 I might go and take a look

I’m trying Sunday race club for the first time this weekend!

indievelo is the future of serious eSports cycling. It is being designed by a couple of Zwift hands and a dissatisfied community.

Thanks Si for a really interesting video. As you say, it’s a chicken and egg situation in terms of building the community. Having tried and struggled to juggle racing for different teams across different platforms in the past, I prefer to keep my eggs 😉 all in one basket. Assuming that MyWhoosh begins charging for access, can I see myself moving across from Zwift? No chance - the abundance of competitive racing on Zwift is the defining factor for me.

Thanks Si, you've given me the impetus to try again to get it running, fight my way through the teething issues, really looking forward to giving it a go and who knows, maybe save on a Zwift subscription.

Tried it this weekend (SRC) and its pretty decent, incredible for £0! But not without issues. Seems from other comments its cool to hate Zwift a bit now, but switching between 2 (as a racer only, I rarely do free rides or workouts tbh) shows me the pack dynamics issue is a tough nut to crack. On MyWhoosh it felt like we were all attached with actual elastic bands, you drop slightly behind someone but if your power is even close to theirs you fully spring from behind to in front and then the 2 of you play an odd game back and forth without wanting to. 'luckily' I was dropped after a few KM as put into Cat 2 so that stopped being an annoyance once solo ha. The steering I also couldn't get to work pre race - I could steer to the very edge with 1 tap of arrow in either direction, but not back to the middle or only a little to one side - so didn't use in race. Will come back for more, but if anything it's made me more understanding of why it feels like Zwift can't quite get pack dynamics right - its more difficult than maybe we give them credit for most of the time

Fantastic review Si. Love your effort in putting out great videos. I know it takes a lot of time to put these together.

Once it's released on Apple TV i'll give it a shot and many others i know.

Thanks for the summary. I just tried mywoosh on my iphone, had a 1,5h freeride training and then the app crashed and i lost my activity. Also it takes control over my bluetooth headphones and sets them on hearthrough. No way to deactivate it. Not a nice start, but I hope it will improve and that the macOs version will be released soon. Looking at that rediculous prize money and already talking to some local club members to form a team maybe soon.

Love that mywhoosh is adding more competition in the indoor cycling market. I've raced both platforms and yeah, the mywhoosh pack dynamics feels very primitive whereas Zwift has had years longer to develop their pack dynamics and it feels very smooth, polished and advanced. I hope Mywhoosh improves a lot in this area in the coming years.

It will be interesting to see if Jason Osborne shows up to the WC. He's in a team sponsored by Zwift.

Si, about the dual recording. Is one considered THE one and the other as control, or are they using both during racing to calculate speed, … ? Integrating simply both there is definitely a plus to Zwift if at least some feedback is present.

Are the harware specs not a bit mental for MyWoosh? Minimum GPU of Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti

its the future , just like Indievlo, but it stop compatibility with older versions of Adroid when all other ones, like zwift, keeps running

Informative, balanced, and interesting video, Si. While I have trouble making the political connection or separating the issue from fans of riders like Tadej or other Western companies with Middle Eastern support, I do see the strong belief of many commenters. I want to explore the ‘Sportswashing’ issue, the human rights policies in modern-day UAE, and how they relate to the virtual cycling world. A few of you are obviously strong opponents. Can you tell me how you developed these beliefs? Have you been to UAE, know someone who lives there, or can you point me to research or resources supporting your opinion? I’ve done a significant amount of research and find it challenging to point to anything specific in their modern-day culture.

Please explain the categories and how it works,new cyclists

I try to use it but I can't even connect my wahoo cadence sensor or heartrate monitor to it so it's not worth my time.

In the EU and I assume also the US a government backed company is not allowed to compete with a public company due to competition laws. Good for competition? When Zwift is dead, I'm not sure you will think the same way.

I left the Mario Cart on bikes platform for MyWhoosh in September and am unlikely to go back. I like that MyWhoosh appears to be catering to the serious/semi-serious club rider more so than that other platform, i.e. no power-ups, dinosaurs, halloween costumes, etc, etc.
