ABOUT THIS WORKOUT

This group workout takes you through the Individual Time Trial of the 2018 Tour de France (Stage 20).

Follow along as you go through a similar warm-up to the pro's and then hit the iTT hard for an hour of power.

ABOUT THE TEAM DIDATA FOR QHUBEKA GROUP WORKOUT CHALLENGE

It’s never too early to start training. In the run up to this year’s Zwift Academy, Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka challenge you to complete a 5-Stage Group Workout series. Finish ‘em all and you’ll unlock the exclusive team fan kit – and Zwift will make a donation to mark your victory.

Each stage gives riders a taste of what the pros will go through in France this July, over flat, hilly and mountainous stages. We’ll also train with Individual and Team Time Trial stages. A 6th day of rides will be a make-up day with a mix of all 5 group workouts for those that missed a day earlier in the month.

All riders taking part in the events will wear the new Team Dimension Data Fan kit in Zwift. Those who complete all 5 stages - or four of five stages plus any make-up workout - will permanently unlock it for good. And there’s another reason to ride.

Zwift will donate $25 to Qhubeka, the team’s partner charity, to celebrate your efforts. All funds go to providing Qhubeka Bikes to communities in South Africa. Get to the finish line, and we’ll help raise funds on your behalf.

You’ll also see that we swapped out the Ride On with the Qhubeka High Five. Make good use of them when you see the pros from Team Dimension Data leading your rides.

ABOUT GROUP WORKOUTS

Zwifters line up in the starting area just like a normal event and once the event starts, workout mode begins. Everyone stays together regardless of power output. That's right, if you're outputting 100W and another Zwifter is outputting 400W you will stay in exactly the same position relative to each other. Only if you stop pedaling and fall 6 meters behind the group will the rubber-banding stop.

HELPFUL HINT

We highly recommend doing one of the FTP tests as the estimated FTP can be inaccurate and make the difficulty level of the workouts too high for your current fitness level.
