Today I was leading our 6Points Mallorca team through the virtual streets of the Lutece Express in Paris on the Zwift riding platform. In total it was a five lap training ride with an optional full lap mini-race at the end.
During the laps we had a good chat and some sprinting while spinning our legs.

As always we started with a good 2,6W/kg for warming up the body, on this course the first sprint came quite early. The first sprint was not taken hard from our sprinters, some wanted to save their legs. From the lap banner we raised the power to 2,8W/kg, and a little higher on the uphills. The group could stay together over most of the lap.

Shortly our next sprint were coming. And on that one, as well as on the other ones coming, the sprinters really raised the power. Lets check the results of the four sprints we had:

Good job sprinters 👍🏻
And a big congrats to Helen for the ladies jersey 🏆 and E.C. for the mens jersey 🏆

Our fourth full lap was just the preparation getting the legs ready for the optional mini-race. During that lap I raised the power a bit bringing the HR into a good zone before the race start.
Some meters after the GO GO GO for the start, some riders took i seriously and went for the podium. A chasing group could hold a good power as well keeping the gap just around 4 sec for quite a while. After the turnaround at the Arc de Triomphe the leading racers went into a good speed for the downhill towards the finish line opening up the gap to the chasing group.

Congrats to B. Wu 🥇, P. Meijer 🥈, T. Gontijo 🥉 for the podium – good racing.
Thanks to all for riding with us today.
