In this interesting challenge, the GCN crew attempt to see just how long they can last riding at the same pace as Tadej Pogacar would in the Tour de France. Using the new Zwift Ride trainer, everyone was able to have a crack at it - even some of the GTN and GMBN crew! But who do you think lasted the longest?

@jaimeisreal 27 дней назад

If you weigh 63 kilos, you gotta hold 410 watts (6.5 W/kg) for one hour. Those numbers are why these pro riders are so rapid. It's not equipment, it's their sustained power.

and the zwift bike isnt even using their own zwift hub? they purposely make their own products obsolete. not a good look

@craiglindberg4851 28 дней назад

I'd be more excited if there were built-in side-to-side and fore-aft rockers along with vibration modes for different surfaces. It's the same setup we all have with our own Zwift setup, except Zwift play is built into the handlebars. Big whoop. Zwift needs to go MUCH further. Better yet, build more online roads and forget new income streams for a change.

@Mr.NotImportant-qu5rx 28 дней назад

Things might be changing because the GCN founders bought GCN back from Warner Brothers recently. However, a well presented, entertaining 🚲 advertisement is much better than a boring 🚲 video, and the GCN presenters can't get fed purely by eating the bugs stuck in their brilliant smiles after their daily double imperial century ride.

@barrybkopicz2845 28 дней назад

@@Mr.NotImportant-qu5rx My issue isn't that they have sponsors [it's great that they have them] but the nefarious way they advertise the sponsor into the show, they need to be more upfront about such as stating "We like to thank our sponsor Zwift for lending the bike".

@Mr.NotImportant-qu5rx 28 дней назад

@@barrybkopicz2845 Different strokes for different folks. Or one man's trash is another man's treasure. Or a matter of taste I guess. If a RU-vidr seamlessly blends in a commercial into their entertaining education it's a demonstration of marketing skill in my opinion. A challenge for GCN would be to advertise a video with the most product placement possible as an April Fool video. I'd love it.

@SaintGerbilUK 26 дней назад

I've actually been looking for a bike to go on my trainer so i don't have to keep setting it up. It's just a shame you have to buy it with the kickr and not separately. Or is it that it doesn't work with other trainers?

@LukeOstrem 16 дней назад

@bertkreft9689 27 дней назад
