  • Опубліковано 11 чер 2024
  • 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?

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.

      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.

If a UA-camr 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.

    Held 7.4W/kg for a minute quite recently.. got no idea how long I can hold 6.5W/kg because I've never tried to pace myself with that target power. (And I'm not going to lol. Sounds needlessly painful) Probably 2-3 mins right now. My 5 minute intervals are around 4.8-4.95W/kg.
