Wins for Gail Robinson and TW1 Racing in the 3rd race in the popular British Team Cup Zwift race on the Three Sisters Reverse course with its daunting 9 kilometre climb up the Epic KOM maxing out at 16% at the top.
British Team Cup: Zwift race 3
by Jon Miles
A total of 37 riders clipped in to start the race which replaced the Coalville event. A brisk start with Anastasia Bowler (Cowley Road Condors), Sarah Briggs (RFDA) Sue Chittock, (Army Ladies Race Team), Ruby Frith (RFDA) and Poppy Thompson (Pro Noctis) leading the bunch but that all changed as the race reached the lower slopes of the Epic climb when Sarah Briggs and then Gail Robinson, (TW1) broke away to begin her dramatic ride to victory.
As the incline began to bite gaps obviously appeared at the rear as eventually a group of 13 forged ahead. 6kms into the climb and it was Gail leading being chased by Amy Gornall, and Poppy Thompson. Swooping off the climb, Gail strengthened her lead but behind Sarah Briggs lead the bunch. With 23 kms to the finish, it was Gail then Ruth Shier (Team Brother UK LDN) chasing with Stassi and Sarah taking turns to lead but the 2nd place was claimed by Ruth.
The final kilometres ticked away with Gail strongly cementing her place and a cracking win for Team Manager Lisa West where at the finish Gail had her second Zwift Team Cup race win by 2 minutes 36 seconds on Ruth Shier who led by 1 minute 29 seconds over 3rd placed rider Sarah Briggs.
