This was one of the top blowouts ever, Erik! You know it's that bad when you can't even finish your own outro, haha.. gg on 2nd place upgraded position on ZP! 💥 💥
Is the speed in Zwift accurate? I feel like these speeds for power output are nothing like real life ….based on a previous cycle I had on Strava with Garmin sensors chat GPT says in order to have averaged 40kph at my weight of 90kg I would have to out 615w and if I weighed 60kg it would be 395w which seems realistic to me….. only doing 260w on a flat on Zwift seems to hit 40kph even when not drafting which would explain otherwise
Zwift is a video gameeeeee, the sooner you accept that it isn’t real life the more fun you’ll have!! 😉 I can tell you this year on a group ride I averaged 40kph, 249w (264wNP) for 30min 🤷🏻♂️
@@DontGetDroppedCycling just wondering how accurate it was cause I want to start training hard on it and thought the speed on a lot of people’s videos seem very fast as I am a fit enough guy with good power output and that speed seems crazy which I’ve seen so many people do ….i think it’s more of a trainer simulator than a game at this point with stats and group management on some riders etc. just graphics are simple to keep stats realtime and to make it available on every platform
Any hard training is good training. The only reason I can keep up with the in real life fast group rides is literally because of Zwift and Zwift racing!
that looked hard, lol. I don't think it would have mattered what you did, Larson had the better legs it looked like. Did your score end up going up or down? still, good race tho!
I'm was an A rider until I got busted down a few days ago because I improved my 5m, 1m and 30s power significantly, and somehow Zwift thinks that means my FTP has gone down (?!). Anyway, because I always ride highest category races, have a really poor sprint, and don't finish on the podium my race score is only 600. It's going down with every race - despite the fact that I am racing a category higher than I should but manage to not get dropped and finish in the main group. I can do 4.3 for a race, and Zwift wants me in the same group as guys who do 3.3..... The new system means diesel riders from A go up against sprinters from C. i have now done a couple of races in the 520-690 group and ride as hard as I can on the front to drop as many Bs as possible. Probably they are unhappy about 'A riders in the B group' I know an A+ rider with a race score of 517. He just did a 'B' race under the new system and did 4.7 for 15k. I also know a rider who was B in the old system, but has a race score of 756 - around the same as my coach who rode in the World Tour last year.....This B rider hasn't raced since the upgrade.

Prime Time racing is back next week!
Nice race Erik!!
Felt like a mini late night prime time kinda race... too many surges!!!!!
No one do anything crazy in my race, 12 people stay in one group (formula racing)until the last uphill. Yours look way more unpredictable exciting!
Zwift racing is like a box of chocolates. You never know whatcha gonna get!!!
Interesting to see that new landmass coming up out of the ocean.
It is! Don’t need to see stupid Alpe as much now on that road 🤪
DGDC = ADHD 😂Don´t worry I have it too, all that extra energy is useful for bikes fortunately 😃
🤣
2nd on ZP is not to be sniffed at, Erik! 💪 Do you think some prime time riders stayed up especially for your late night rides? 😂
Late night always full of sus.

But yeah cool I’ll test it myself soon and let you know

Who’s this E bloke you keep referring to?

I can’t stop it from keep going up!!!!! 😂

crazy to see so many "A" riders in a b-level race. lol XD
ZRS should even things out as ZwiftSZN continues to ramp up!

I did this at prime time and I got drop like a bag rocks 😅
ahahaha I'm kinda glad I haven't been able to hit PT yet...
Race score sucks man!!!
It sucks if you still getting your a$$ handed to you... 🙃 Currently I can deal, if mine keeps going up to the next lvl I'm gonna RAGE
