- Ever wondered what a race up Alpe Du ZWIFT with 80 of the world’s strongest women looks like? Last Friday, I raced the Road to Sky course with the Movistar eTeam as Round 2 of the Zwift Grand Prix series. With a 7-minute cut off from the first finisher across the line…the pressure was on. Check out how it went!

That’s an insane ride after starting it pushing VO2 power for so long. Your legs should have been toast after 15-20 minutes. Unbelievably strong mental effort!
really enjoy the comments over the actual race as well as the post ride commentary. best of luck looking forward to see more!
Unbelievable effort and also nailed the wheels as a reward!
Strong ride! This old guy is still working hard to someday crack one hour up the Alpe!
I always knew world tour riders were strong but it's amazing to see your stats in "real time" during a race like that. (Especially as one who's tried that hill a few times and can compare my weak performance directly!) Fwiw - too many times Zwift videos focus on the rider sweating on their trainer pulling faces and such (GCN!) instead of showing the actual race being ridden. It's maddening so I really appreciate the candor and openness of this style!
Loved this. The openness about what you could have done differently was refreshing. Look forward to the next climb - top effort.
Beast mode! Thanks for sharing. As a newbie on Zwift, this is very helpful. Watching you, I’ve definitely got work to do!
Great job! Great video, and thanks for all the work that goes into shooting a video a racing all before starting your day!
Great ride Tilly 👌🏼 insane but great. No way could I climb for that long 😂 your commentary over the race makes it so interesting and seeing you push and struggle just shows how hard it actually is.!! Well done 👍🏼
Well done Tilly! You did very well, and thanks for a great video.
Kudos for showing your performances online. This is an excellent video. Very well done.
As I was watching in awe your W/Kg I was drawn to the video posted when we saw Rohan Dennis do the climb in an Zwift event , but what super impressive was your ability to push / hold with a what I can only image must have been your HR at V02 or very close . Bravo 🙌. Herculean effort, looking forward to more to come and seeing you moving up in position
Phenomenal effort and gratz on the lightweight wheels! 🎉
Astounding mound, lots of curvy bits with a fair few inclines. Bob on squiffy bob on!
Wow, incredible ride with a great video and commentary!
Insane ride! Way to dig deep - and reflect on what you could potentially do differently. 47 up the Alpe is top tier stuff. Well done.
Great work. I did this climb for the first time last week. I'm still mentally traumatised but happy it's ticked off as completed
What a great video and effort up the Alpe. Welldone 🙌
Great work! Very impressive 👍🦵🚴🏅
You are a so generous athlete congrats Tilly
Very enjoyable to watch and listen
Super cool! That loooked so challenging
She’s back!
Wow mega ride so cool to see how hard you worked well done 👊🏼
Unreal effort! Well done!
Awesome race...I felt all your pain like I was riding all over again. You would drop me like a bad habit... LoL
Cool you're racing Tilly 🏁 💃
…then off to work….big kudos! Very instructive, thank you.
That was brutal. Great effort!
Nice job. I just rode this as a complete newbie to zwift. After an hour, I had to stop and help my wife with house stuff but still had 4.6 miles to go. My legs are shot. Lol
I just did Alpe for the first time 2 weeks ago (I'm a Zwift and generally could be considered a cycling newbie ) and my time was nowhere near that. lol wow what an effort!
Great job grinding this one out! Subbed
Outstanding Performance!
That’s pretty awesome Tilly I’ve completed that climb too … strategy for me was more of zone 2-3 and 4 for 80% of the session then a push to the end .. recording over 100w over my FTP… I think also it’s important not to get in the mind set of staying with the bunch right from the start… that’s my theory for sure .. 👍👍Zwift is the best without a doubt
So important to know the cheeky spots where you can put in a little dig on the courses. I always struggle with the start of this climb, it's a fine balance of going to hard up the first two turns.
Good to see you back racing.
14:03 Bonus getting a / another set of Millies.
I enjoyed this video. I love Zwift mountain climb videos.
Nice job real nice effort good luck on the next points race
Very fast start....tough ride to start off so strong..fair play to you ...
The problem these days is that what constitutes a woman isn't quite clear....I'd wager a few at the top of the board might not pass the Mick Dundee check.
Great effort. Enjoyed it.... More than you did I'd say!
Wow that was a mad ride.
Love the comment as you are going up a 11% grade - " reducing my watts here" while you still bang out 300w. Insane 👏👏
That was awesome… could relate 👌
Unbelievable effort. Got me well and truly covered. I don’t think i could even finish at that pace!
The pre race sounds hectic. Definitely not a Saturday roll with the gang. 😂
Great effort 💪 💪💪
Respect for the discipline it takes to get to your fitness level. Great watts/kg. And of course, your undeniable beauty.
Congrats!
Very well done! Last Sunday I did almost the same time you've just done! That hurts 😅
You got the wheels too! How good!
so motivational effort to the end. well ridden
Seriously incredible effort and power sustained up that mountai! I was sweating just watching it.
Very nice race 👏🏼 , the Meilenstein wheels were a greatly deserved bonus here 😁
Great Ride! 👏
Very impressive ride.
monster ride!
Don't forget about the neutralized bikes. One of the managers was once told that the neutralized bike stats were that of the Zwift Carbon bike with 30 mm wheels. If your best time was on a climbing bike/wheels that's definitely worth a minute on the Alpe! Nice work.
I need those wheels 🥳 well done 👏
You got the wheels! That in itself is an achievement! (still have not gotten them in all my rides up that virtual thing)
excellent effort
Wow you really really digged deep.
Impressive 👍
Well done 🎉🤙
Reckless Watts!! Very Nice!! 💪💣
Good race; thanks for the vid. Is your time up mt Nebo about the same as the time up the Alpe?
Very impressive riding! I'm still working on the sub 60 minute AdZ goal.
Your numbers are insane, I thought I was a true king averaging 150 watts :).
Deepest respect! Will die within 5 min at this Watts 😂
You got the wheels!
Kicking!
Awesome effort! How did you get elevation profile information on the top right?
Those Watts are massive. Way to push!!
seeing you do that in 47 minutes ... then I look at my best time of 72 minutes ... argh ... long way to go =)
Hey well done cruel climb you done great 💪😊
Impressive W/kg! Great finish push!
Helps beeing light that's for sure! 😮
Amazing ! What is the site at the end of the video where you see your statistics?
Respect
Being in the pain cave for almost 50 minutes and not even a single swear!
This was painful just to watch! Good Job!
its very impressive that you could hold your power that well. not sure how you did that after your first big push. normally that breaks a person going like this in such a climb 🙂
What's the weigh in process. U said u ate than weighed. Do they make u wear the full kit then weigh right before race. Thanks.
And you got the wheels :)
You got the Lightweight wheels! I've done this climb so many times and still haven't got them. I was beginning to think it was a con.
I know what you mean. I just got them on my 16th ascent.
🙌🏻👏🏻
..and you got the light wheels too.
Was it with home-trainer difficulty to 100% Great ride
💪💪💪
Yikes racing up the Alpe would make me very nervous.
I'm 57 kg, and going to be 57 years old in 3 weeks and my best up the Alpe is 41.59, Standing all the way at 277 w.
Almost the same as the top female rider in this race.
Paving as it turns out is Key to a good time.
It always hurts though, Well done!!💪💪
These are some of the worlds strongest women! I know if one of you gals showed up to an average group ride you'd have a lot of the guys dead by the end :)
your real world kit, matches your virtual kit. 😎
54 minutes up Alpe du Zwift. That’d be a dream run for me….
Great facial expression. I almost felt your pain
great effort. we have similar power, and make similar noises :D, but i'm much heavier and about 20 minutes behind:D
Dam, 54min is movin!! I went sub 60min for the first time today and definitely puked in my mouth on the last 500M push to get 59:33 😂😵💫
Anyone cutting in below an hour is really strong
👍👍👍
how is that only 96 tss, massive effort !!
Cool, you are like a machine, I would never have thought that such a fragile girl had so much strength. I listened to a lecture by a cardiologist here, he said that having heart rate at such high values in the long term can have a bad effect on health, what do you think about this?
Your numbers would bury me😅
Thanks Tilly. Really insightful and enjoyable video. I always go too hard at the beginning of the climb! Just looking at the winners stats - 226W Av @ 5W/Kg. Some basic maths says they're about 45Kgs . . .
Love that you’ve checked this!! Very interesting info
Thats half my weight 😂😂😂
вери бьютифул вумен)
The Lightweight Wheels you earnt on the Climb will improve your time if you use them on the next climb with a Lightweight Frame
What's your FTP? I can't imagine i can push 6w/kg as man :D
Yeah just have to pace it to perfection. Better to start out low and overtake people. It's also a better moral booster than the other way. 😅
your watts went up when you started having to spin your legs faster... something to think about. spin to win!
