Zwift explains the format of this showcase Chase Race: “Competitors will be gridded depending on their cycling ability. Riders are to be set off at different intervals with the strongest riders starting last. Their aim: to chase everyone down before the finish line.”
Competitors include Olympic medal winners from multiple sports, community Zwift racers as well as Spice Girl Mel C who already has some e-racing experience and success, having finished third in the charity ‘Wheels for Heroes’ race behind four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome and cricketer Kevin Pietersen.
The full list of sporting stars competing are:
- Sir Chris Hoy
- Fabian Cancellara
- Nelson Vails
- James Cracknell
- Alistair Brownlee
- Alberto Contador
- Jonathan Edwards
- Kristin Armstrong
- Dame Sarah Storey
- Lucy Charles Barclay
- Maddie Hinch
- Paula Radcliffe
A few selected members from the Zwift cycling racing community will also be mixing it up with the sporting celebrities.
