Pro women cyclists donโt get the respect they deserve. These elite athletes, competing at the pinnacle of sport in races such as the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, are unbelievably talented. Ollie goes head-to-head in a race up the Alpe du Zwift against a virtual version of top climber Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio to find out just how blisteringly fast these pros really are!

Which women cyclists would you love to see join the GCN team? ๐ด
That's odd style of bikepacking ๐ค
Ollie, I believe that many of the Guys in you audience think that you intentionally blew the race.
Sour grapes from out of touch guys who can not deal with a women actually being able to outrace a fabulous male rider like yourself.
Next they will accuse your adversity in this race of doping. Itโs the standard response of little boys who donโt get their way.
It was a wonderful video and you rode a great race. I really loved this video. Kudos to GNC for showcasing superb female athletes!!๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
Chapeau, Ollie! Under an hour!
you never lost if you racing AI not a real person lol
Next up on Gcn vingegaard vs womens winner, on d'huez
Katie Compton!
change the title of "female Pro" sexism at its best.
Haven't watched it but let me guess, woman wins ๐๐ GCN is politically correct and they can't get te best male amateur vs best female pro๐
Well now I want a zwift trainer ๐
Also you forgot to crash at least once and have a bike change
I very much like watching videos with Ollie.
Isn't there a robo Marco Pantani that Ollie can take on, and not just the final climb but one entire mega Tour de France mountain stage?
Top Olli ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Any woman who rides professionally can smoke me easily. Even robo-pro woman. But I'm 63. Ashleigh is second on GC at the Femme after today's Stage 6. She'd effectively lap me up that climb — twice.
A big ride, but you raced a bot, so the โraceโ was pointless
"Representing all amateurs" at nearly 5 W/kg for an hour… ๐ Ollie, please, lol.
Hello, I need advice on first bike purchase
I'm a beginner and looking to buy my first endurance bike. I'm checking some budget entry level options and I found
A White RC LTD DISC 105 22 for around 1240 Euro
A Wilier Montegrappa Triestina for around 825 Euros
I realize White comes with hydraulic disk brakes and Shimano 105 r7000, weighting around 9Kg; whereas Wilier comes with Tiagra 4700, rim brakes weighting 9.5Kg. So it might worth the price difference, but I'm not sure.
Opinions? Also accepting suggestions for other alternatives (in Europe).
Thanks!
I think irl she dust him Even more
Those pain faces were so relatable, shows the racing spirit when you get a PB. Those women have some insane climbing ability. As a lighter rider I know the advantage of less weight, but this is some serious power to go with it.
Another pointless advert from GCN. If your guest canโt show up, get another guest.
Ollie dropped again!!!
4.8 wkg!!! Crikey even when I was slim and very fit I could only do that for 8-10 mins max eyeballs out intensity ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ
Although, your hair genes are top notch.
The answer is, it really doesn't matter. It's just about how good and exciting the racing is.
That is a monster effort at 4.8wkg Ollie. You did great ๐ Ashlie is a pro and there is now way for us rookies to keep up with her.
No Terminator references for the Moolman-Pasio bot?
Listen, and understand! That Climber is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop… ever, until you are dropped!
If he had won the clip would have been put in the bin. There is an agenda. Put the top 10 pro men against the top 10 pro women in any sport and see the results.
I'd have to chop off one leg to get down to 49 kg's.
Awesome effort! I like the new robot avatars in Zwift too. I think they used to look like gold colored holograms.
The best way to demoralize Ollie is always bring Andrew Feather in.
