NRS on Zwift Race 3 Preview
The third edition of the National Road Series on Zwift will take place at 10 am this Saturday, May 30th on the Jungle Circuit.
Blake Agnoletto, Tom Benton, Josh Duffy, Pat Eddy, Sam Eddy, Nathan Elliott, and Mark O’Brien will all race for InForm TM Insight MAKE.
In race 2 a fortnight ago, Tom Benton finished sixth overall on the NYC KOM After-Party course.
Sam Eddy has been frequently using the Zwift platform during the cycling shutdown.
“It’s been pretty good. I’ve been trying to hang on and in the NRS I’ve just been trying to move up a couple of spots every week. Cracked a few PB’s on there too, which has been good,” Eddy said.
Race 3 will take place on the iconic Watopia Jungle Circuit. Riders will be required to complete 4 loops of the course, which equals to 37.4km.
The race begins at the loop’s lowest elevation, then there is a gradual climb to cross the dizzying heights of the rope bridge. Then riding downhill to the bottom of the valley is one loop complete.
The Jungle circuit is dirt from start to finish, so different bike wheels perform on the circuit. The choice of bike wheels will be crucial to every rider's performance.
“I think there are tactics involved in choosing the right bike but I won’t tell anyone which bike I’ll be riding,” Eddy said.
The race will begin at 10 am and will be live streamed to Zwift and the National Road Series Facebook Page.
