“Now, we’re proud to be launching our favourite collaboration to date. The Ineos Grenadiers Virtual Training Camp will give Zwifters an opportunity to take part in a series of ten unique workouts that we have co-created with the needs of every type of rider in mind. They provide our riders with a tough session and will be a fine challenge for Zwifters all over the globe.”
There are ten workouts that are focused on specific riders and their specialties, from Tom Pidcock to Filippo Ganna, with two more also available.
In a press release, Zwift said: "To explain what you will be training each session, there will be a supplementary video series, featuring riders and team coaches explaining each of the workouts."
