Heading into the weekend we are gearing up for stages three and four of the Virtual Tour de France where you can expect a game of two halves. Both the men’s and women’s pelotons will sign-up their team’s power houses as they’ll face a fast, flat stage on Saturday. Whilst Sunday’s stage will see them swap to their climbing bikes and enlist their puncheurs for Zwift’s very own version of a French ‘casse-pattes’.
It’s going to be another star-studded startlist with the likes of Egan Bernal (Team Ineos), Lizzie Deignan (Trek-Segafredo), Elia Viviani (Cofidis), Chloé Dygert (Team TWENTY20), Yves Lampaert (Deceuninck-Quick Step) and Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio (Team CCC-Liv). The women’s peloton will see 16 of the world’s elite teams take to the startline with 23 of the men’s top teams being represented.
