Today I was leading our GGCC team through the virtual streets of Innsbruck on the “Innsbruckring” on the Zwift riding platform. In total it was a four lap training ride with an optional full lap mini-race at the end.

Today we went three laps as a training ride where we had the challenge of going up the “Leg Snapper” and also the fast “Innsbruck Sprint”. Keeping the group together is even more challenging because of the downhill after the KOM.

For the first two laps our sprinters had a good chance for a fast sprint, and we had a really good time during the second lap. Let’s check out the two sprinting results:

Congrats B. Theyel on the green jersey – good job 🏆 Hope you got your breath back 😉

Some riders tried the KOM already during out training laps. That made the peloton split up and many riders also went in front of the fence. It took our riders quite some time to come back to the peloton, three got removed.
During the fourth lap I took the racers towards the Lag Snapper at a much higher pace compared to the other laps. Here our KOM riders and racers had a good chance going for a nice PR. Let’s check:

Congrats to L. Mong for the best KOM time, even below 50sec 🏆
We also had 18 riders below 1min, not bad 👍🏻

After the Leg Snapper done the focus was the finish line. Here our racers did a great job keeping the momentum high. Of course the downhill towards the sprint line helped them, but also the long straight road towards the finish. The pace of the racing group was at a nice pace. Let’s check out the podium:

Congrats to PJ Kings 🥇, L. Geisler 🥈 and K. Jeuris 🥉 on the podium.

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