In these testing times of social isolation, cyclists are taking to Zwift to keep their racing form, a bike simulation platform where Thomas de Gendt is no longer admitted.
The Belgian is known for its ability to maintain a very high tempo for long minutes. This is how it often makes the difference on the road. Obviously, his pedal stroke also damaged Zwift because he was thrown out of a Zwift race for super human power.
Zwift say they are looking into the matter, with their CEO saying De Gendt is “too strong” and that they will find a solution to stop his rides getting flagged.
