@manda_F I don’t see anything at that link about the ZA finalists. Maybe still working on that? Also, would you be able to edit the original post to include each ZA finalist’s country?
I might be mistaken, but I thought that existing professionals could not be chosen… Cooper Sayers looks like he has a pro badge in Zwift, meaning he is a UCI pro.
Contenders cannot be from a World Tour or UCI ProTeam. UCI Continental is OK though apparently. Sayers is on the Saint Piran team which is UCI Continental.
