Zwift, the global online fitness platform for cyclists, has officially launched its first smart trainer, Zwift Hub.

The starting line was moved several hundreds of meters down because of the low water level. However, the distance in water remained unchanged and the athletes faced 3,8 km in pitch black water in the swimming fraction.

The win not only moves the Colombian into the top ten overall but also sees him join an elite group of racers who have won a stage at all three grand tours. “It’s beautiful to win in the Vuelta,” says Rigoberto Urán. “I’ve been looking for this for several years because I’d already won at the Tour and the Giro.
