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

Clock00:00, Friday 2nd December 2022

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...
