Zwifting with Mark Cavendish
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- After being introduced to Zwift while recovering from injury in 2014, Mark Cavendish (Cav) has since used Zwift to keep himself motivated and connected to the cycling community. With the goal to break the Tour de France stage wins record in 2023, Cav will continue to use Zwift as an intricate training tool to rack up as many green jerseys as possible.
For Cav, the challenge the Tour de France demands has been the driving factor in his cycling career. Illness, injury, win, or loss, the drive to achieve more at the world's toughest cycling race has guided the Manx Missile for nearly 17 years. The aggressive sprinter we see in the races opens up and reminds us of his true personality off the bike-a proud, emotional, loving husband and father of five.
Feeling inspired? Look out for your opportunity to ride with Cav, as well as tackle his workouts next week during Cav Week: 28 Nov - 4 Dec! Ride On.

Only when Mark retires will people realise how great this man is. Absolute inspiration to us all. 100% dedicated to his craft. Through all the ups and down of the sport he is still here winning at the top level. Lets get that win at The Tour next year. Makes me proud to be British and a cyclist.
you are so right. he is one of the true greats of the sport.
I think that’s only half true, more people will realise for sure, more than now, but a great number acknowledge what a legend he is already!
But he won't retire. Not from cycling I'm sure. He is authentic
Starting cycling for triathlons back in 1985, had 2 friends killed on their bikes. My area here in Florida not save on the roads. few times a month will head to a bike trail . But discovered Zwift on Dec 22, 2023 , since then 89 rides and now have my TRON bike and have seen my cycling get so much stronger. i have not missed a day since Dec 22, 2023 , its 2/10/24 GREAT VIDEO
Totally not what I was expecting. Really touching glimpse of his home life and reflections in fatherhood. Really enjoyed watching this.
So glad to hear!
Coucou 💙💙 jour même mariage avec christelle et aussi Christophe Laporte
Seeing Cav ride with his son makes me smile.
Isn't he the cutest? 🧡
The very same thing happened to me!!...really made me smile.
I raced on the Isle of Man just before Mark was born,on of the best weeks of racing in my career. Little did we know a great champion was about to be born and give all so much pleasure & entertainment. Cycling is my whole life just like it’s Mark’s,only now I’m 67 but still compete on Zwift in cat’s C&B. I have ridden with the pros on Zwift but I’m still waiting to ride with this very special sprinter. Just wish I was younger again,maybe get the orange Z with my name, we can all dream when riding such a great platform as Zwift. Loved this short insight to Cavs life & family….
So glad you enjoyed it!
Cavendish inspired me to start cycling. Zwifting is great for dads (and moms). Child in bed, baby monitor next to the bike and start training.
That's amazing 🧡
That's exactly going to be me in 2 weeks. Gonna be a dad and I'm making all the necessary adjustments to still be able to zwift 👌😁
Exactly how i do it 😂
This! In summer I go on evening loops after the kids went to bed. In winter, it would be pitch black so I hop on Zwift. I even do it when I‘m alone with the kids 👍
One of the true greats at being both a great bike racer and a great father.
Absolutely!
How can you not love Mark. Hes such a nice human beeing.
We agree!!!
What an inspiration, for both cycling and fatherhood. Truly heartwarming ❤️
That is so nice to be riding with your son, . May you recover from your injury and get back to the sport that you love. Take care Mark.
🧡🧡🧡
What an absolute legend of a dad
I'm not a Zwift person but Cav is inspirational! Makes me want to get out, ride and push myself!
🧡
Love this … his little boy with the cycling jersey … that is so cute. It can be tough if you share a passion with one kid and not the others tho. His comment about wanting to Zwift even when the weather outside is good is starting to ring true with me too
… I feel a bit guilty! Glad it’s not just me! 😂
interestingly, the jersey was actually on of cavendish's.
Cav you beauty!!!
Cracking piece Cav. One of the biggest hearts in the sport right there 😊
Just received my Zwift yesterday, setting it up today.
So exciting! Ride On.
I am one of those followers on zwift! But as a level e rider I'll never message as I'm busting a gut just to be out the back! But what a lovely video. That family has to be an antidote to the pressure of his job in his tour team. I watch all the grand tours and hope he gets to tdf this year to fight for that next win
Great video. You have a lovely family and your relationship with your children is filled with joy. Ride on
What a great champion, but simply what a great human ! Nice video, thank you zwift. Let’s enjoy his sighting on the road as a pro cyclist as much as we can the time it last. Go Mark Go ! All behind you this season !!
Cavendish best Sprinter of all Time 🙏
Love, love, _LOVE_ this! ❤❤
This guy cracks me. Great guy and such an inspiration 👏
Génial.....MERCI Zwift ...une LEGENDE sur Zwift, ça c'est une merveilleuse nouvelle
Awesome piece! You are a legend! A Ride-On from Cav is one of my favorite Zwift things.
Fantastic video production from you guys, please do continue this series in 2023
Thanks for this amazing feedback! 🧡
Very cool. See you on Zwift Mark!
We'll see you there!
Such an inspiration 👌🚴🖥️🎮🔥
Look my Strava ! 💖
I did a group ride earlier this week on the Champs with Cav. It was an excellent ride and he was great interacting as much as possible
A great video from a great athlete and very likeable (family) person. Love it.
Just perfect!!
My hero!
I was lucky enough to get to ride a few group rides with Cav on zwift. One of the times was my first time leading our group. It sure made the conversation go easy with him there. He was very engaged in the chat, his great personality shined through. Zwift is lucky to have him as an ambassador.
Ready to do my promo!

🚴👍🚴♀️"The Legend" that is "The Manx Missile"🚴♂️👍🚴♂️
Love this video, 👍😊
When I finally get around to having some kids, I can't wait to have a way to bike AND watch the kids!
Nice watch.
The goat of sprinting
Prefer be on the indoor trainer "sometimes" - yea yea my man didn't want to let it slip he's on it hard indoors always!
wow cool family
Mark Cavendish cycling 🚲 legend 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
I started riding road bikes in the mid 1980s and have ridden indoors on a wind trainer, rollers, then a mag trainer. Absolutely hated them all and could only tolerate them for an hour at most! Started Zwifting just over 3 months ago and I’ve recently managed to ride a 2 hours and 17 minute route and will be riding even longer routes. Living in Kansas USA, where else can I ride category rated climbs? Still prefer outdoors when weather is good but Zwift is an absolute game changer for indoors or when wanting to do long climbs.
So glad to hear Zwift has been a game changer for you!
Having decades of experience riding all stationary trainers, rollers, ergometer testing bikes etc. none of them actually duplicate outdoor road cycling. They’re close, but not quite there. I’ve ridden a road bike on a treadmill and it was the closest simulation of outdoor riding, though it was a bit nerve-wracking trying to moderate treadmill speed and position fore/aft mainly. The issue with stationary trainers is that the intrinsic act of balancing on two wheels is removed, so the true workload is less. Rollers attempt to address this but there is too much “caster” on the front wheel and roller drum, the result is a partial simulation of riding on the road. So …… ride outside whenever possible to do safely.
Great insight, thank you for sharing!
Such a humble guy. He has the most Tour de France wins! Tied with Merckx!
Great sprinter of all time!
TDF eligible teams please note, we really like this guy and would love to see him win one more stage.
This casino section in Zwift makes me dizzy every time.
This made me like Cav even more.
❤❤❤
I was already a fan but love to see the family man side of the GOAT!
Who isn't a fan!!
Love this video!
Such a good idea putting the kids bike next to yours while on Zwift! I'm going to try that with my kids!
So fun!!
Thanks for joining our group for a few mins up Ven-top this weekend.
The Manx Missile!
I need that codes for the helm 😎
Wonderful family.
Yes! 🙂
Hope we see you race many more years, Mark.
😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰
Are the equipment safe?
Good luck in your quest for that next TdF stage win. Why don't you just grab three or four ... just because. 😁
still the GOAT 🐐
Legendary ❤❤❤❤❤
This is one way Crashvendish won’t crash anyone!! Lol
That was great
Oh, thats from the day i was following him on zwift. Was only able to follow him for 10 min 😂
Hey it's the effort that counts! 😆
Brilliant
I just got off a 20mile zwift ride and took a shower. Now I want to get back on.
That's what we love to hear!
great man! and sprinter 🙂
Amazing 🎉😊
Any ideas what make the white fan is?
Dyson Cool desk fan!
This was adorable! ❤
What kind of trainer is he using?
@@Zwift Thank you!
With pro cycling awash in so much controversy over the past couple of decades, it’s truly heartwarming to see a good story about a pro cyclist and his family.
Legend, i need to get my twins zwifting with me too. Loved the video.
Wow! That would be amazing 🧡
Wasn't so much interested in the Zwift thing, rather a glimpse into the life of an intriguing bike champion.
Here's to 2023 for Cav, wherever that may be :-)
사랑스런 가족이네요
멋진 라이더
