NYSBRA hosted the only state Esports championship in the United States in March, crowning Chad Tavernia and Jennie Hansen as the first New York’s Open Men and Open Women Champions, respectively. Presented by the Western New York Bike Racing Club, the intensity on Zwift was brutal in both fields, with Chad and Jennie breaking away early and holding off their chasers for the whole race. We plan to build the event next year with a race around the end of January, adding a commentator, corporate sponsorship, and a live stream. Get ready!
