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 five lap training ride with an optional full lap mini-race at the end.
Thanks JC and Jam for helping out 👍🏻

We started during the lead-in with an easy pace around 2,6 W/kg. From the lap banner on I tried staying with a steady 2,8 W/kg (around 205W avg. over all). By going at a more lower and steady pace this ride was more a recovery ride. Before the sprints we had quite a long group giving our sprinters a good draft.

The first sprint already gave us the best time possible today, some could of course improve during the ride.Let’s check what numbers we got in the end:

Congrats to C. Binney for going in green – good job 🏆

After the sprinting was done we prepared for the minirace, bringing the group back together. We brought the fence slowly down to 2sec. This ensured a fair start for our racers.From the lap banner I gave the GO GO GO and the race was on. Quite early some riders went away from the now faster going peloton at around 3,6 W/kg.

The more kilometers we put into the last lap, the more the racers went away from us. The last kilometers they pushed as hard as they could to get first over the line.
Let’s check the final results:

Congrats to C. Binney 🥇, C. Meersman 🥈 and K. Sekiguchi🥉 on the podium.

Thanks to all for coming and riding with GGCC today.
