Stage 5 Was Brutal! 🔥 4.7 W/kg Madness | Tour of Fire & Ice

Описание: Last year I rode the Alpe du Zwift in a time of 47m05s.
Now a new challenge: before the Alpe du Zwift climb there’s a long lead-in with rolling hills. The group consists of 273 riders, including several very strong climbers.

Can I beat my PR?
I’m feeling good and my legs feel fresh.

Let’s find out — enjoy the video! 🚴‍♂️🔥 and let me know what you think of it!

🏔️ Alpe du Zwift — Route Details (for YouTube description)

Route: Alpe du Zwift
World: Watopia (Zwift)

Climb length: 12.2 km
Elevation gain: ~1,036 m
Average gradient: 8.5%
Max gradient: ~12%
Hairpins: 21 (numbered, just like the real Alpe d’Huez)

Lead-in:
Before the climb starts, there’s a long rolling lead-in through Watopia. It’s not flat—expect short hills that can already take the edge off the legs before the real work begins.

What makes it tough:

Long, sustained effort with very little recovery

Steep mid-section where pacing mistakes are punished

Final kilometers demand mental strength as much as power

At the summit:

Chance to unlock the Lightweight Meilenstein wheels

A well-earned virtual descent back down

Why it matters:
Alpe du Zwift is the ultimate Zwift climbing benchmark. Every second counts, and pacing is everything.

Perfect for a PR attempt — or finding out who the real climbers are. 🚴‍♂️🔥
