Great video Phil. Fantastic comparison. There is an aluminium Allez Sprint bike in Zwift available, but weight wise your choice for a steel frame matches the irl Fuji much better.
Stunning climb Phill & chapeau to you for putting the comparison together. I wonder what time you could’ve done on your bike? Very interesting indeed though. All the best for 2025.
Thanks ever so much Ian 🙏 - it’s a must do climb 🇮🇹. And for sure I’m tempted to take the Wilier back to Bologna for a max effort ! Wishing you a fulfilling 2025 !
Thanks ever so much Roy 🙏🙏 - that’s hugely appreciated . And a great point - the gradient on the Radio Tower tops out at 14-15% so I think you have the answer 👍💯
Good Job Philip, I have a question how did you manage to set up a normal ride on Zwift Bologna, there always used to be events and now there are no events and I can't ride train currently Bologna on Zwift, how do you know the way hint what to set up so I can ride the Bologna route in Zwift, thank you and best regards.
Thanks ever so much🙏🙏. It’s only available as an event to enter on Zwift Power or Zwift Companion - so I joined an event and then did my own thing (used the event as a warm up ) 👍
Love it.
Thanks Eric 🙏🙏 hugely appreciated, Sir !!
as henry james said, nothing betters “the real thing”.
Very very true - and especially so for this absolute gem 💎 💯
Great video! That was nice Pope to give his blessings. He’s a classy guy.
Cheers Silly Puddy 🙏🙏 The pope sends you his finest blessing and kindest regards !!
Haha I wasn't prepared for the pope blessing the bike 🤣🤣
The pope sends his blessing and regards to NL, Mick !
Great work Phillip.
It's definitely steep in the real world.
& Lovely city. Shame it was far too hot for me to cycle up😢
Make sure you ride it next time TC - it’s right up your street !
A climb like that is always going to be nicer in person
100% Matt - it’s surpasses all expectations in real life 💯🇮🇹

Cheers Stef ! That’s very very kind of you to say so 🙏🙏 still my favourite !

Cheers Gerben 🙏 - that’s much appreciated coming from a connoisseur of Zwift such as yourself ! Glad I made the right virtual choice e
Very well put together. Quite lyrical in the presentation.
That’s extremely kind of you to say so, John 🙏 - and hugely appreciated. I very much enjoyed putting this little comparison together
Great work Phil, pushing hard 💪💪 I haven’t done zwift tt in ages, thought they got rid out it. How do you access it these days?
Hi Kris - thanks ever so much 🙏🙏 it’s only available in ZwiftPower / Zwift Companion as an event (race or TT ).

Fantastic comparison! I’m thinking the lower gradient on Zwift might have been done on purpose to mitigate limitations on many smart trainers.
Thanks ever so much Roy 🙏🙏 - that’s hugely appreciated . And a great point - the gradient on the Radio Tower tops out at 14-15% so I think you have the answer 👍💯
Amazing 😀
Thanks Volha 🙏🙏 - super kind of you !
I’ve only changed trains in this city but haven’t explored it yet-maybe it’s time to 😀

Great video. Do you have any fondos earmarked for 2025?
Cheers Jasper 🙏🙏 I’m signed up for the Fred Whitton and the Coast to Coast (Velo 29) - both in the UK
Where is this climb on Zwift ?
Bologna TT , Events only route
Hi Dino, as Stef, confirms, it’s only for TT or race events. Go onto Zwift Power or Zwift Companion and you will find it comes up pretty regularly 👍
