10 of the Grenadiers pro riders will be riding on 10 different routes for a combined total of 10 hours of Zwifting. “Everyone should be able to join one of our Around the World launch rides, no matter where they are,” says the team.
2020 Giro d’Italia winner Tao Geoghegan Hart will be kicking off the community ride at 10am BST on his virtual home roads of the London Pretzel. Then Michal Golas is up next at 11am, followed by Ben Swift at midday, Dylan van Baarle (1pm), Cam Wurf (2pm), Michal Kwiatkowski (3pm), Adam Yates (4pm), Leonardo Basso (5pm), Dani Martinez (6pm) and Jhonatan Narvaez (7pm).
As you ride round with the Ineos Grenadiers team your Zwift avatar will be kitted out with the team’s Castelli training kit and you’ll ride a Pinarello F12.
By finishing any ride you’ll unlock the Ineos Grenadiers Training Jersey to continue to wear in game.
