I know the obvious way - click on my name in rider list on right of screen.&nbsp; But, today I switched to fan view and, given the number of riders on Zwift, my name dropped off the riders (near me) list.&nbsp; In this situation, how to I switch back to normal mode?&nbsp; Is there a keyboard shortcut?

Hi Shawn, you can just click the orange button in the bottom left corner of the screen and it’ll take you back to yourself when in fan view.

Thank you sir!&nbsp; Something obvious that I couldn’t discern unfortunately.
