RollCo Ciabatta Crushes TBR Outcasts | Zwift Ladder Race Highlights

WE ARE BACK! 🚴‍♂️💨 Welcome back to the Zwift Ladder Racing highlights! ​This was a massive day for me—not only was it my official category debut, but it was my very first race flying the colors for RollCo Ciabatta as we went head-to-head against the TBR Outcasts. ​Coming straight into this off a grueling two-week break from virtual racing (including crushing the legendary 337km 'Chase the Sun' ride out in Iceland!), I knew the pace was going to be brutal. To make things interesting, the day started with pure chaos: technical glitches, starting in the wrong jersey, and scrambling just to stay in the draft! ​This race turned into an absolute tactical chess match over 4 intense laps. When the lead group fractured, I had to make a massive split-second decision: push the pace and risk bringing our rivals back to the front, or play the team game, anchor the chase group, and save it for an all-out sprint finish. ​Did the strategy pay off? Can RollCo Ciabatta lock down the lock-out? Hit play to see the final hill tactics, the numbers we threw down, and the final high-wattage sprint to the line! ​🏆 SPOILER ALERT: Huge shoutout to the squad for an incredible team effort to lock down a massive 21-31 victory! ​🎵 Coming Next Week: Keep an eye out for the full documentary and highlights of my 337km "Chase the Sun" ride through the breathtaking mountains, rivers, and volcanic landscapes of Iceland. It's going to be epic. ​🔔 Like what you see?
