The inaugural UCI Esports World Championships are coming on Wednesday and there's a star-studded entry list for the races, set to be held in the Zwift world of Watopia. 

The events, which were announced during the UCI Road World Championships in Yorkshire last year, will see plenty of real-world pros take on the 50-kilometre course, after a season which has seen a boom in online riding thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns.
