    136 avg heart rate whilst everyone else was minimum 166. You’re a horse Lionel! Chapeau et très bien fait bro
  • @jdawg177
    That was the greatest e-sports cycling moment of all time
  • @MattyJTri
    I think my HR was higher than yours that whole time, great race!
  • There is one certainty in my life - When Lionel uploads, I first get inspired, then I go for a Run/Bike/Swim (Solo these days)!
  • @dylsiegel
    This was so fun to watch! Lionel you're an animal.
  • @kiwibommy
    Mate - you dominated, it was awesome to watch!!! Sitting in the lounge yelling at the phone in a eSport race, gotta say, it was a first for me... well done, Lionel!
  • @jolliffe62
    I think the coolest part of this was seeing how genuinely excited Lionel was afterwards. Obviously proud of a great race, and rightfully so! Way to go Lionel! Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦

    This game looks amazing. This is the first time im hearing about zwift but this is revelutionary. Being able to compete with people around the globe liike this online and having an online community like this. Looks very fun. I'd like to play something like this but I see its quite expensive.

    That was incredible racing! Taking out MVDP and the Zwift elite...with a solo break??! And the post race interview was just pure joy to watch and listen to🙏 That honest joy and excitement and Lionels expression in the end of the interview is heartwarming and very inspiring.
  • Most manliest thing ever: pick the one spot in the race that's made for the cyclists to attack and then tear them all apart right there in front of their eyes! More than impressive!
