Race Matcher

COURSE × RIDER INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM · LEQP LADDER EDITION v1

What is this?

Race Matcher helps your team select the best route before a ladder race — and the best rider lineup for that route. The system automatically fetches rider data from ZwiftPower (the last 90 days of power curve data), analyses strengths and weaknesses for both teams, and ranks all available routes by who has the advantage.

Daily use

1. Select your team

Select your active team from the dropdown at the top of the page. The rider list, captains and team profile update instantly. Switch teams to simulate internal matches.

2. Select riders

Under TEAM ROSTER you can see all riders with their power data. Check the riders available for this match. Use the All checkbox at the top to select/deselect all at once. Click a rider to expand details:

• ● CURVE — real measured data from ZwiftPower (90 days)
• ○ est. — estimated values based on W/kg and weight

3. Select opponent

Select the opponent team from OPPONENT LIBRARY. Your own teams appear at the bottom under ── Own Teams ──. You can uncheck riders who are not participating.

4. Select routes

Under the COURSES tab, select the routes in the race pool. Filter by distance (slider), world or search by name.

5. Run the match

Go to MATCH RESULTS and click ⚡ RUN MATCH. Choose mode:

• Find best COURSE — ranks all selected routes by strategic advantage
• Rank RIDERS — shows which riders best suit a specific route

Understanding the results

The score blends raw watts (most important on flat routes) and W/kg (most important on climbs) — reflecting Zwift's physics model. Strategic advantage (+/-) is the difference between your team and the opponent's best lineup on that route.
