Surviving A Season In The Pro Peloton | Zwift Academy Winners Revisited

surviving-a-season-in-the-pro-peloton-zwift-academy-winners-revisited

Recently with the advent of gravel bikes people have wanted their bike to be more versatile, rather than having two separate bikes. A great way to enhance its versatility is by having two different wheelsets, one for gravel riding, and one for the road. So does this really mean you only need one bike? Alex finds out!

How To Make One Bike Do It All

how-to-make-one-bike-do-it-all

The Track Champions League (TCL) is a new event looking to revolutionise and revive the sport of track cycling. With a focus on fast-paced, easy-to-understand races, this event is perfect for newcomers to the sport, as well as diehard fans.

The league comprises five international rounds held over three action-packed weeks, starting November 12th in Mallorca, Spain, and finishing December 3rd in London, UK. Each round/competition sees 36 men and 36 women racing against one another in four different events, two Endurance races and two Sprint races.

Riders earn points through their results in these events. Points accumulate over the five weeks and, at the end, those with the most will be declared the winners of their respective Sprint League or Endurance League. Whatsmore, prize money for both men and women across the competitions is equal!

We've seen that a road bike can beat a time trial bike from the 80's, and even the iconic Lotus 110, but what about something from this Millennium? Si and Ollie are back with a retro vs modern this time taking on Jan Ullrich's famous TT bike from 2002. This bike even made Lance Armstrong worried, but will it scare Si and Ollie on their modern superbike?

A few months ago we tried to race against actual pros on the open road, and it's fair to say we were thoroughly beaten. But what if that race was on Zwift? And what if instead of three pros we raced only 1? Well we got in touch with Tour de France champion and all-round legend Geraint Thomas who, to our surprise, was more than happy to give this race a go! Can our presenter line up beat a real life Tour de France winner? The results might just surprise you...

Can 4 Amateurs Beat A Tour De France Champion? | Geraint Thomas Vs GCN

can-4-amateurs-beat-a-tour-de-france-champion-geraint-thomas-vs-gcn

There's been a trend to have one bike which is more versatile, rather than having several bikes. This is great, but with riders at the gravel world championships using road bikes and Tom Pidcock using road equipment in cyclocross events this got us thinking, is road equipment really durable enough to be used off-road? Ollie and Alex discuss their thoughts, as well as all the usual Tech Show features.
