Global online training platform Zwift is set to launch Z PRO June Invitational. This is a four-week series where each rider chases general classification over four races during the month of June. Fans can tune in to watch pro triathletes race from June 10.
“The ZPRO Tri Race series has been a great success. I’m excited to see how the athletes take to the 4-week race series and which pro is best over such diverse terrain,” Eric Min, CEO and Co-Founder of Zwift, said.
The start list for each race contains 30 of the biggest stars in the sport of triathlon, in both short and long distance racing. Confirmed athletes include Lucy Charles-Barclay, Sophie Coldwell, Flora Duffy, Jess Learmonth and Georgia Taylor-Brown. On the men’s side, Kristian Blummenfelt, Terenzo Bozzone, Alistair Brownlee, Braden Currie, Gustav Iden and Lionel Sanders are all confirmed to race.
“The ZPRO Tri Race series has been a great outlet to get in some real racing. I’m really looking forward to the June Invitational, it will be hard racing but I’m excited to go up against the other women and leave it all out there on the bike,” Lucy Charles-Barclay said.
