Zwift Racing League – Series 2 Round 2
The second round of the series took the competitors to France and a fast Team Time Trial around the roads of France. The flattish course favoured the watt monsters over the lightweight climbers.
92 of the 101 BC South teams managed to finish and a total of 419 riders enjoyed a hard ride and a bit of fun. There were some very close results on a course that demanded concentration and keeping a tight formation for the entire race.
