Can We Hold Tour De France Pace? | Zwift RIDE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 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?

How long could you last at 6.5 w/kg? ⚡
not very long because i am carrying about 20kg of extra fat with me. my bulk went kinda too far i think. 😀but maybe fat belly is aero? 🤔
@@oplkfdhgk We think you would surprise yourself 👀
I couldn't
@@K_Rides-13 We're sure you could 😉
As long as you need. Wink wink 😉
Lmao at Blake's 49 seconds... "Oh cool, what does that mean?!"
I would've asked the same thing
Tell us you're a mountain biker without telling us you're a mountain biker 🤣
We really needed ollie for this, I imagine he could do like 5 minutes or something.
We'll drag him in when we can 🤣
Great video! Also if only the bike wasnt so expensive it looks great!
Missed Oli and Si in the video though. Those 2 probably would have won it. I bet Oli could have put down that wattage for 5 minutes ans Si for 4 atleast.
I thought the bike with trainer is like $1200 which is cheaper than other options, especially not having the wear and tear on your expensive carbon bike.
add Andrew Feather to that second edition
@@Joshua-dx7znyeah thats what I thought , sounded like a bargain. And definetly makes me consider upgrading from my 90's 8 speed atop the kicker wheel on trainer. Maybe I heard wrong.
15 seconds. But if Manon stood next to me, 17 seconds for sure.
She's a great hype-man! Always fun shooting with Manon 🙌
I wouldn’t be able to to breath if I was stood next to Manon in my cycling kit . Holding one’s belly in for a long period isn’t conducive to a good vo2 max
This video is like " has someone got a quick idea to promote the new zwift bike???"
I like how you clarified.
Type II fun.
Give a 10
I've seen him fixing dropping saddle, he is legit mechanic.
Are you allowed /able to make a video dedicated to the recent sale of GCN to the founders???
That would be brilliant, because the information has been published and it would be exciting what it means for all the GCN youtube channels and employees.
Congratulations on the GCN team buyback!
i might be able to get 70km per hour down a very steep hill.
I would need all that and a strong tailwind too boot.
I can hold it the whole day if I want to. 😂😂😂. That is to print the number and hold it in my hands hahaha. Great video!
Oh you got us! 😉
Bike looks pretty cool but as it seems to have no cassette, am I right? Wouldn't a belt drive be less noisy and more durable? Just my 2 cents...
The Rest of the video is impressive. I wouldn't be able to withstand 10min at 6.5W/kg...
You're correct! You can find out more about that here 👉ruclips.net/video/K2YIBnlD7Jg/видео.html
I was slightly disappointed to see Hank reading the instruction when assembling the Zwift bike. Does he have no pride?!
We we're surprised to see Hank reading... 😉
I think he was trying to redeem himself after using garden shears on a seat post clamp....
The editors made him do that. 5 minute assembly? No way he read the instructions.
Why is he interested in the opinion of the manufacturer? 😄
Sadly ive got tired legs aswell so not gonna give this a go, but the Zwift bike looks great!
Entertaining video 😄
Love seeing the crew putting in the big efforts
We've got a good bunch 👌
I Just cannot overlook the fact that this is one big infomercial for Zwift"s new product.
and the zwift bike isnt even using their own zwift hub? they purposely make their own products obsolete. not a good look
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.
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.
@@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".
@@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 RUclipsr 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.
I don't think I could even get that power. If so, it would be standing sprint for maybe 10 seconds.
The Hank approach 😉
Yeah, Zwift just annoyed a lot of folks with a significant fee increase. Maybe that covers the upfront on the new trainer.
How about the eight new routes, FTP test, and a bunch of llamas? Yes, there are Llamas in Zwift now. And don't forget the fly catchers. There's more to come. Just wish they had put this out before the price change rather than after.
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.
100%, the bike can only go so far! It's all about those crazy engines 💪
How many recreational riders can achieve the Tour de France rest day pace?
That Zwift key holder is really impacting aero.
The bike looks great. 😍
not surprised Alex came out on top... I was able to stalk him on a recent gravel ride in Kent for the first few km then he just rode away before I got the chance to catch my breath and ask for a pic. Next time....
He's got some punch that boy! 💨 Our secret Weapon!
After the last GCN Tech fiasco... thank goodness they got Hank in there to build the bike with his mechanical expertise. I'm sure that if Ollie had been present for this challenge, he'd echo my sentiment.
I would keep up for much longer. Because from the start the Peloton drives very relaxed. Hiding between the other riders in the field and let myself be pulled from the drag along. so i do the first two hours, not just two minutes.
If Hank assembled my trainer, I'd definitely recheck all the bolts with a torque wrench.
What was Chloe’s time? She’s a beast! Much like Alex!!
Fun video to watch!
I can hold 6.5/kg for all of about 10s according to Zwift (slightly over for less, slightly under for longer, although it would be less now I've gained some weight!). I like the look of the Zwift bike - and the price - but already have a KICKR setup.
Depends on the quality of the Drugs 😂
Alex’ face while on the bike 😂 ….
Im glad to see James is close to my weight!! (185lbs at 6'2")
Where is the final ranking list??
I'm fairly certain that 24 days wouldn't be a problem!!
For me 6.5W/Kg is around 400W. At my best I could hold it for almost a minute, right now I’m getting back to fitness so think even 30s would be asking a lot
I imagine Alex is smarting at that most mechanically adept presenter diss!
Awesome & Thanks :)
Pity about the weight limit. It looks fun. Type two fun, apparently.
That bike looks cool
Great chance for Si to restore his honor after the embarrassment he faced during the ramp-test against Zack :)
We couldn't convince him to have a go 😢
Excellent guys
Go Mike! Great guy.
If you can get Zwift to drop their prices a bit (the recent price hike is mad) then that would be great!
I want to see Ollie try! I reckon he could get close to three minutes
Did you just publicly revealed the weigh of all participants ! :)
I’m thinking jeans may not be the best for trying to hold high power for an extended time on the bike. Doesn’t that feel restrictive? 😬
Perhaps not... 😉
That dope!
Buhaha love how they are in jeans
I have not even tried my new bike yet for real . so i guess i cant even get to that power in the first place ;)
Where’s Ollie? We need him in this one!
Crew got a raw deal there…. at least mention all their names.
so, what do we need zwift for? 120 sec ? can have that on a bike outside
For cycling when it rains outside lmao
Damn, bought the kickr core last month
They would make a great duo then 😉
They're selling just the bike bit separately... Later in the summer.
On a down slope, pushing a zone 5, might just get me to 70kmph
never ridden with a power meter so I have no concept of what these numbers mean. But what it seems to be is how long can I go flat out... I'd be happy with 30s (@500W)
An average person with an FTP of 2.5 w/kg can hold 6.5 w/kg for 5 seconds, for someone with an FTP of 3.8 w/kg it would be 60 seconds, with an FTP of 5.6 w/kg it would be 5 minutes, etc.
It's pretty impressive effort by all those involved 🙌
A world breaking 10 seconds.
could you push to 15? ⏱
Be interested to see how much for just the bike? Ive had a Kickr Core for a few yrs so no need for complete kit.
5 minutes (542W @ 83.5 kg).
that is impressive
🤯
Yes for about 20 mins😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
20 mins is crazy strong! 🤯
A little over 5 minutes🥵
hope they had a warm up, going from zero to puke mode without it is nasty
How long can I hold 625W? Probably 20s at best .... algo happy with comments
TrainerRoad says I can hold 6.5 w/kg for about 90 seconds in the middle of a ride.
Erm...wasn't it meant to be a video on tour de france pace? All I saw was an advert. Not very subtle GCN!
Zwift have missed a trick with that new frame why didn’t they make the front end rise and fall ?
that swift bike doesn't look very aero! ha ha!
I can actually hold that level of power for... well, negative numbers! the sort of numbers like I have in my bank account:)
Can you please do a vid about the tour de france fantasy team by Tissot
That's a fun idea! Perhaps we could do out dream teams on GCN Racing? 🏁
Can you change put the pedals?
Yes of course 🙌Swap the pedals for whatever works for you!
@@gcnOnes which turn the cranks for me?
Well i am 98kg so it is 637w... And on Garmin best time potency that is like for 2min .... lol
2mins is very impressive still! 🙌 637w is big too, keep riding 💨
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.
You must be one strong rider! 🤯
@gcn still get dropped fairly quickly in fast group rides of the local club. I'm not skilled at fast hill descents and only mediocre at pack dynamics.
Is GCN a sales channel for Wahoo and Zwift😝
It is, amongst other things, a means of sponsors/investors getting a return. Live with it, it’s commerce.
I could do it. I use EPO. Gives me wings
Unfortunately I dont look very much like a cyclist (unless you check my calves), i would need to hold 650W even at my lean weight. Under a minute for sure.
So, Connor at 6'8" and a wee extra, is too big for the Zwift bike
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?
It has no lateral movement, that will lower you preformance slightly.
Where was Andrew fether he would low key go for days at that power
heres the team that cannot even reach the target power o/
Wait, more than half the video is promotion for the Zwift bike, is that what GCN has come to? It's been a while since I watched any of their videos but this is crazy, humiliating in a way.
When you on a paid job how much time do you spend doing what your paymaster wants you to do vs what you want to do?
30 seconds. But with EPO 45 min.
…and a few years of dedicated training and diet.
Lmao that’s not how that works
@@RyonBeachnerthey always forget that part
I wasn't going to go there (omerta and all that), but I'm happy you did. :-)
another Zwift promotion disguised as a segment
I can probably hold 500W for about 10 seconds max 😅🙏
Tour the france riders, draft i am sure Ollie can keep you with the pros
We hope not... we don't want him going pro 👀
About 15 seconds being a 69 year young person
Depends, how much dope can you take?
Adjustable stem length?
fun vid but such a blatant ad lol. But i get it zwift has been sponsoring gcn for a while.
Not a bad price for an adjustable indoor bike, my concern would be what if Zwift isn't around in 2 years?
lol, would not happen. Every other competitor is light years behind.
@@decoherence926 They still are not profitable.
@@stephenauckly You'd be surprised to find out how many companies "aren't profitable"
@@decoherence926 IndieVelo isn't years behind, and it's free
Dang, I need to give it a try. 6.5 w/kg? Maybe 30 seconds? Stay tuned…
I did it in ERG mode and held 630W (6.5w/kg for my body weight) for 25 seconds. I felt like I was maxed out on cadence. I should (dumbly) try this again, but without ERG mode. Dang, that hurt.
How about connor?
I reached 52m45s
30s @ 6.5 w/kg
Sorry, but this is getting too much QVC and too little GCN here … I understand that they are your partner and pay for the content, but you used to make product presentations feel way less like teleshopping.
Go build a ‘better’ media company instead of complaining about a business doing what businesses do 🙄 The worst.
CONGRATULATIONS GCN! Founders buy GCN back from Warner Bros. Discovery as announced by Bicycle Realtor And Industry News!
Alex is the worst
Go build a better comment section instead of complaining about commenters doing what they do. And yes, the commercial took up way too much time.
It was one video, for goodness sakes get a life.
I recon i can hold these power numbers for really long time. About 3 revolutions of the cranks. If I was that out of breath. I wouldn't to try to catch it. I'd want a rest.
Smells like an ad for Zwift.
Looks like one too 😉 We lucky to have partners like Zwift, they allow us to create some amazing videos and bring you new products like this 👌
Very nice bit of kit. Will it be subject to a legal case and withdrawn from sale 6 months after release like the Zwift Hub? 😂
Oi…. I wouldn’t last long
No, I don't want a Zwift bike.
my last ride i got 1406w 5 sec, 905w 30 sec, 524w 1 min so probably something around 40-45 seconds since my target would be 767w, so yep i would be easily dropped (as i was in my group and the numbers was me trying to sprint back to the group )
Those are some strong numbers! 🙌A bit of structured training and we bet you'll be smashing past that 45 second mark 💨
