Cyclists and cycling fans alike are being given a unique opportunity to go head-to-head with one of the sporting greats on Tuesday 20th March as part of Yas Marina Circuit’s weekly TrainYAS by Daman’s ActiveLife.
Former Swiss professional road bicycle racer Fabian “Spartacus” Cancellara will be putting local cyclists through their paces as part of the special “Chasing Cancellara” event.
Teams of two will complete two laps of Yas Marina Circuit’s iconic Formula One track in the fastest time possible (time trial format) with the aim of beating the time set by the world champion. The fastest three teams, plus category winners in qualification will then advance to the final.
Following the qualification stages the fastest three teams, plus each category winner, will all line up at the start and take off at the same time. The four-time TT World Champion will then set off a few seconds later in pursuit of the challengers.
Whoever crosses the line first is the winner; do you think you can chase Cancellara?
