Today I was leading our GGCC team through the virtual streets of the Champs-Élysées on the Zwift riding platform. In total it was a six lap training ride with an optional full lap mini-race at the end.
Thanks Damian, Roger, Ian and Andrew for helping out 👍🏻

We started during the lead-in with an easy pace around 2,6W/kg. From the lap banner on I went with a steady 2,8W/kg. By going at a more steady pace this ride was more an endurance ride.
After a sprint we had quite a long group and a tail group as well. Luckily our helpers were going hard for bringing the mback and the peloton went at a lower pace. For most riders this was a zone 2 with a little of zone 3 ride.

Of course each lap we had a good sprint. The first sprint was more like a test of legs, but after that our sprinters really tried everything to get fast times.
Let’s check what numbers we got:

Congrats to S. Larsson for going in green – nice job 🏆

And by going a little easier on our fifth lap we prepared our legs for the upcoming mini-race, but we also got the peloton tight together. We started the race at the lap banner. Directly from the gun some guys went all in, and we never got them during the lap with the group I was in.
From the group we had a good run of some guys for the places.
Let’s check the results:

Congrats to C. Clancy 🥇, D. Kerr 🥈 and G. Silvatico 🥉 for the podium.

Thanks to all riders for coming and riding with us today.
