Why Did We Get So Smashed In The Zwift Racing League?

This year, we put together an elite team of our ex-pro presenters (and Ollie) to compete in the Zwift Racing League. Bringing all their skills and racing experience to the table, they finished in an astounding… 8th place. In this video, we’re asking why? How? Would they have done better if we said they were all 130cm tall?

Still think you could drop Ollie? Let us know in the comments how you think we did! 👇

Ollie dropping the other presenters. Maybe we should do another GCN Investigative Dropumentary episode.

[Seppster]

Well done Ollie. Great to see you go above and beyond in this endeavor. Rest of the team did great too. Really appreciated the support from Conor to push Ollie to that awesome finish.

#GCN #GCNTech Ollie is a great rider and has caught far too much flack for the "getting dropped" event. Hammer on Ollie, we support you whole heartedly.

I love how far Ollie has come from pre GCN days to getting into massive challenges, usually with pros and former pros. Well done to you mate for the positive vibes & the sense of humour.

[LukeGJPotter]

I love a good "Ollie is the Hero" video.

[Kimberly_Sparkles]

The edit between Si’s “Where did it all go wrong?” To Ollie’s name/avatar is really well executed. I laughed.

Using some powerdrill-assistance on Swift helps :-)
I've been trianing together with a couple of runners, on threadmills.
They crushed me on there.
But when I invited them on a couple of long trailruns, they just colapsed.
"It's raining", "It's windy", "It's cold", "Their's roots and rocks all over...", "I've gotten a wet sock".
Their is a difference between "café-training", even really hard café-training and real-life training.

Ollie hitting his head on the door with "mind your head" ... actual LOL

[PaulElliott]

you guys were in our league, Backpedal Amino Acids is my team, great to see you in the ZRL, i really think everyone tried harder because you were involved, the racing was much harder than previous seasons but on to the next one, good luck

[inz_uzi]

It seems like Ollie was so afraid of getting dropped that he almost won! 🤣
Good effort mate.

[kevinosborne]

What a effort by Ollie 💪🏻 he looked spent at the end

[scrivener]

Ollie: Standing so tall after those heroics, he doesn't even fit through doors any more.

[kstethespokes]

I ride in Cat D, even that’s a pretty tough gig after a full day at work so nice to see that you guys are getting rinsed too - challenges for all! Surprised you didn’t feature the horror that was the Tour of Tewitt Well 😱 - still traumatised by that. Nice work Ollie!

[silvervanmanfly]

Well done Ollie, A.Mansell used to ride in our Club and I can confirm he is just as strong in the real world.

[keirinmaster]

Ollie, I have a whole new level of respect for you. You always act sheepish but you're a beast, dude!

[allonsyuk]

Brilliant. I'm way past my best (about 30 years ago I was our local club 12 hour champion) now nearer 60 I take it easy and am just a pretty average group c rider. The fact you can race in groups of similar capability on zwift is one of the best features imo and though I don't do many nowadays I do still do the odd race. Video's like this remind me what fun (despite the pain) racing is and might have to enter another one soon. Good work guys 🙂

[dougnorth]

Watching this with my torn Achilles gets me so excited to hop back on the trainer when I'm able and get to some racing with my brothers!

[jamiehiggins]

Who got dropped now! Ollie has gotten some sweet revenge FINALLY! Great job to all the GCN presenters!

[tomcolley]

Great to see Azzer from Pro Vision Racing take the win 🤣🤣
