Today I was leading our 6Points team through the virtual streets of London on the Zwift riding platform. It was a three-lap training ride on my favorite UK course: “Greater London Flat”.
Thanks to Jam for going in red today – good job mate 👍🏻

For the lead-in we started at 2,6W/kg. After that, I settled into a 2,8W/kg avg. effort. For the last lap before the minirace I lifted it to 2,9W/kg avg. Right before the first sprint (which is the end of the lead-in) I pushed the power a little more. Some of the sprinters already tried their legs early — and our best time came on the 3’rd lap. But also at the 2’nd sprint we got some really good numbers.
Let’s check out who got the green jersey:

Congrats to B. Young for going in green – strong job 🏆

After the sprints, we focused on our upcoming optional minirace. I ramped up the pace to get some blood into the legs before going hard. Thanks to Niels on a TT bike for pulling us along the course at a perfect steady pace 👍🏻

As always, we started the optional minirace from our beloved shopping building, Harrods. For a very short time we had a nice group together. But at the ramp after the tunnel one rider went as hard as possible. I pushed hard for catching up going with him towards the line. Also our TT rider Niels did a strong job following us way in front of the peloton. In the end all did a hard sprint.
Let’s check out the results:

Congrats to Y. Tanioka 🥇, Martin B. 🥈 and Niels G 🥉 on the podium.

Thanks to all rider for coming and having fun with us today.
