Can The Global Cycling Network "All Stars" Survive The Zwift Racing League?
Can The Global Cycling Network "All Stars" Survive The Zwift Racing League?
Racing on Zwift is hard. Really hard. But that didn’t stop Si, Hank, Conor, Alex, Loïc, and Sebastián entering the latest round of the Zwift Racing League. Going head to head with some of the fastest Zwift racers in the world, would the GCN “All Stars” survive in the fast and furious world of ZRL?

Whats Si‘s FTP (W & W/kg) ?
Are you going to do more Zwift events?
Time trial, definitely. Beg, grovel, bribe the GCN dream team into the time trial. 😉
I think Manon would have destroyed everyone…
Would love to know how these races would go if everyone had to weigh in live on webcam….
My favorite GCN Video to date…
Oh my God, Si… You’re the true GCN’s godfather .
Big height disadvantage on zwift unfortunately, Conor…
Also… Why Hank is wearing a secret-service-style earpiece?
PLEASE DO MORE RACING 😭😭
Hi guys, I am a 4th-year student studying at the University of British Columbia. Currently, my team and I are working on a project about making a safety helmet that can detect cars for bike riders. We are still under the market research stage, we will appreciate it if you can take this survey and provide us some feedback. Thank you very much! (below is the link to the survey)

Si and Dan complain alot about being "old" they are only 40. Give it another 10 years before you talk about being old. Obvisously Si is a late bloomer so to speak and has more years of cycling cageyness than the younger guys. Not to diminish any of their efforts zwift racing is hard! Congrats Si for showing the younger guys you still have a motor for zwift and your time trialing!
Replicate this on the road one day with an invitational.
Yeees ! Bravo Loïc !
How many slices?
What about Ollie?
how do you steer? does this game capture your braking too?
this all looks so dumb
Where did the spanish guy come?
Thanks for covering this event and growing awareness of the event. Shame my sprint at end wasnt great – Catch all my racing here – twitch.tv/barney_nz
maybe im just not up to date but, where is Dan??
Ex professional bikers getting beat on bikes by keen amateurs? Would love to see who these other people are and the difference in skills needed as to why and how they can beat ex pros. From my understanding they weren’t even in the top group?
… a good laugh at the end of the video… Go Sy Richardson!!!! Big hug to you all, and for Conor Dunne a pair of crutches 😀
Where are the fans? Looks like they have none of completely insufficient ones. I’ll guarantee the lads at the front will have several hi velocity fans EACH and even ice vests in these rides, especially if they’re larger. There’s a LOT more heat to dissipate which is much harder to do.
Brilliant feature!! Loved it!! Glad to see that strong riders like you are still suffering to keep up in the A group. After moving up from B, getting my ass whooped each time
"He probably only weighs about 65 Kilo, and 5 Kilo of that’s gotta be heart" Freaking right 😀 great effort Si! GCN really getting me motivated to get fit! 😀
What I don’t understand is why you gentlemen did not employ Dan Lloyd as a consultant on how to cheat your way into the top ten.
Si still showing these GCN whippersnappers how its done. Absolute boss !
Good Lord is Hank’s attempt to speak any other language terrible. But love him as a presenter!
4.6W/kg is really badass
Hey guys, how about a lil comradery for your fellow cycling youtubers? Please stop suing your mates!
@Global Cycling Network Hope you guys get a bonus spot at an upcoming event so you can stay motivated. I’m done with Academy, I genuinely don’t see what to do next. Really enjoyed those races 🙁
Where is manon
Put all of the same riders in an outdoor race and see what happens. I’d bet a large sum of money that the GCN crew would fare significantly better.
My chain snapped in the sprint!!! Great to see you guys out there.
Chapeau to the rest of the presenters for being game, but I had a hunch Si would do the best because on Zwift, no one can see your ankles.
I feel sorry for Connor. So, if you are over 85kg you are done on Zwift? Seems to be so many folks blasting away at 250 w in the 7w/kg level. No way bigger riders can do this and real world, it’s doesn’t happen. I’d suggest someone at Cal Tech figure out the true physics of cycling and let’s weed out all these 50 kg riders making this entire platform a joke.
Si-Borg… hahaha, grats to all. BTW nice to see others pain 😉
Another great video guys. Great to see you all in action together. Hopefully in 2021 you’ll get a chance to race each other for real
Si Richardson 3 the rest of the GCN team 0, full respect making Hank eat his words, although well played Hank as well. Si inspiring to me as I’m also ageing and taking on the youngsters.
Si has and always will be my favourite of the GCN lot, legend. Smashed it!
I can’t believe Connor quit AGAIN. He quit on that Ireland ride too. How did he ever finish a Grand Tour with that attitude?
Wicked race.
Who do you think will be the fastest of the GCN All Stars? Let us know in the comments below!
OMG! More of these! 😄
Great video guys, despite the result I still would have put my money on you boys to win the race. It’s fun to laugh along with you guys like we’re on the same team. Anyone who says Zwift is not the real deal, this just proves you wrong! It’s hard core.
Should had have mayalan and manon
Well done Si!
What happened to Connor, he did 440 W for like 46 minutes last year. Indoors wearing a full-face helmet. He has to weigh in at like 85-90 kg so he was good for at least 5W/kg@ FTP then. He should’ve smashed the rest of the presenters!
no fan? you look like you’re melting!
Good work Hank – take your hat off – you’ll go faster lol
