To be fair the video routes looks amazing quality but it's a no from me

I think for those of us who actually ride outside AND enjoy cartoon bike racing it won't have enough pull to pay for it. There are a lot of people in other countries who seem to never ride outside.

It seems like the much touted free trial thing might be a bit less than straightforward. You have to sign up with your card number and then cancel. And it looks complicated and messy for annual subscribers. Shame.

I like the idea of the Zwift video but not the trainer/coach aspect. I used FulGaz a few years ago and loved their real video rides - I only came back to Zwift for the racing and the gamey bits, like XP and bikes. To have the video rides and keep my Zwift progression is for me a bit of a sweet spot.
I may do a fondo or similar next year and I like to use the real video routes as training if I can't get outside - they feel more 'real' to ride than Zwift hills and roads.
Is it worth an extra £10 per month though? At the moment probably not, but if the video library increased in line with FulGaz and/or Roy (both owned by Zwift so possible) then yes I'd be happy with the extra £10

Looks like they realised they screwed up.

Had a look around this morning, first impressions didn't exite me, I had a slight judder of the videos, I did a speed check if my download speed, 500+mbps, I didn't want to see myself riding, it wouldn't let me change to shooter view, I wanted to view just the film, I didn't see anything related to the new coaching feature.
I have used Rouvy before with no stuttering so not sure what's happening here.
I did three rides the first two finished before I reached the banner and transported me back to the start, the third ride went to the line.
More testing needed, not keen on all the overlays of barriers etc on videos it spoiled Rouvy routes for me.
The films are not a patch on the old Tacx videos.
