Sweden is setting the bar for national federations in cycling esports—and at the center of it all is Conny Björnehall, Chairman of Ecycling for the Swedish Cycling Federation.
In this episode of the Virtual Velo Podcast, Conny shares how Sweden has quickly become a global force in the discipline, from sending eight riders to the 2024 UCI Cycling Esports World Championship Final in Abu Dhabi, to hosting a groundbreaking live national championship during SM-veckan (Sweden’s Winter National Championship across all sports) that was broadcast to over 500,000 homes via Swedish Public TV.
