Report: British Team Cup on Zwift
By Jon Miles: With Covid lockdown in place, Lisa West took to the Internet Zwift to get our season up and running. Starting its 21st year, the famous series of team races saw a big field entered for the first ever Zwift event. Held in the always interesting country of Watopia, the course, with its 334 metres of climbing, was set to be 42.3 kms.
The race started at a fast pace with Charlotte Colclough-Bianchi Dama, Victoria Lovett-AWOL and Gail Robinson-TW1 leading the bunch. Two minutes into the race and a gap is created by a group, 35 riders strong, led again by Lovett with Charlotte Berry-Pro Noctus, Bexy Dew-Saint Piran, Siam Botteley-Brother and Gail Robinson-TW1.
After 16 kms the leaders were losing riders as they started on the big hill that led past the volcano. Lovett won the climb and riders started the downhill at speed. The leaders were gradually whittled down until seven were in the lead but now joined by Laura Senior-Saint Piran, after a spirited chase….actually Saint Piran now had three riders in the lead break so they were now team favourites with a gap of 35 seconds to three chasing riders.
Glad to be out of the rain, the speed went up and as the line approached Lovett was just leading with Senior on her rear wheel and that is how they finished for a great first win for Victoria Lovett. There is a technique that needs to be learnt with Zwift racing to get best value out of hard efforts but even so this was an exciting race.
