    “GCN vs The World” Chase Race Tomorrow

    This article is coming to you live from the beautiful mountain village of Saalbach where I am attending the Global Bike Festival hosted by GCN and presented by Zwift.

    I am writing to report about a special event that is going to be taking place on Saturday evening, 18.30pm CEST called “GCN vs The World” (sign up here).

    This is a special event and I would encourage everyone to join in because it’s where Zwift is transcending from the virtual to the real world, proving to be the perfect platform for hosting fun challenges at live events such as this.

    The race will be hosted on centre stage in the main festival venue where Wahoo+Zwift will have set up race stations for the GCN presenters who will be racing against the world’s Zwifters.  I’ll probably be watching in person, but if I can a Zwift station somewhere I will, because to participate in a live event such as this will be memorable!

    Former pro rider Daniel Lloyd will be leading the GCN Team and it’s going to be spectacle as the race is broadcast on large screens, allowing the 500 festival goers to witness the drama unfold. 

    You can guarantee there is going to be drama for several reasons. Firstly, because it’s Zwift racing and there is always drama! Secondly, because the nature of the event as a “Chase Race” will create drama.  The GCN Team will have a short advantage and it will be the job of the community to chase them down.  It’s only 13.1km on the “Beach Island Loop” so it’s going to be tight because if the GCN Team work together, then they may have a chance, and a little part of me thinks they may have enough to stay away. 

    But whatever the outcome, it’s going to be exciting to watch and probably more exciting to ride. So don’t miss out on this unique event!
