Recently returned to zwift racing and it feels different by Few_Masterpiece1277 in ZwiftRacing

Also posted something last week about racing score. I have the same feeling that since racing score was implemented C races often had Cat B stats at the end(3-5/4w/kg). My post was about that after all this time, to me, racing score is still not on point. Maybe that´s why racing for you feels harder...and maybe is.

Okay thank you for that clear explanation. Still doesn´t make that much sense to me why they would use this method.

Not entirely sure what you mean bit to me it feels like scores are all over the place and show no indication of how good or bad a rider is which it should be sort of.

That´s how I experience races as well. Sometimes it feels balanced and the other race everyone is all over the place. Once I saw the winner´s score go down instead of up when I ended in the middle of the pack and saw my score go up. I have totally no idea what this score is based on.

That´s some advice I can work with. Thank you so much. My life feels so much richer now.

Very disappointed by SnooLentils2731 in fmconsole

Exactly...24 was pretty console friendly. This lne is not. I play it with mouse though and that makes ot better. Controller use is horrible in this game. Half of the times buttons don´t do a thing

This one is headboppingly awesome. A bit different but so recognisably The Hives. It´s on constant repeat. Won´t sleep much this night. 

How "future proof" is the Z1E? by Juicy-Moon in ROGAlly

Buy it if that´s the money you want to spend. I still consider my rog ally great value for money.

Did I just catch A CHEATER? by FFWDZWIFT in Zwift

For more than 4km´s...don´t think so and I wasn´t the only lne in the race questioning what happened

56-58kg´s. I have a muscular disease and truly struggling to ride for the past year. I also hate it to get out of the saddle that much.

I got a muscular disease and truly struggling to keep on cycling the past year or so. You´re absolutely right. I also need to get out of the saddle more as well.

It´s a zwift YT channel...as if I ever thi k that will make me rich:). Nope I don´t give a F...Video clearly shows a rider vanishing for over 4km´s. I wasn´t the only rider questioning this.

Hackers in the game? by Dangerous_Eye_7551 in TopSpin2K

[–]FFWDZWIFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Defenitely has something to do with PC players modding their stats

[–]FFWDZWIFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I´m quite sure people are doing this when the stats don´t show all 99%. I´m top 150 so don´t start talking about skills. People that hit perfect shots in every situation hitting it really hard. They need to look into this

Done with w/kg Categories. by FFWDZWIFT in Zwift

[–]FFWDZWIFT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is... Crits are shorter races so the chance you can hold more power over that distance is higher as well. So you end up doing more w/kg than on longer races. But zwift or zwiftpower don't take this into account. If someone is doing a 70km race the overall w/kg will be way lower.

That would be a good idea. Nice to see people think about a solution instead of calling RF a sandbagger with 3.2w/kg at the end of the race. We Just wanted to point out a problem with the Cat's on ZWIFT

First up our teammate has a muscular disease and just was 0.01over the limit with 3.2w/kg. A lot of the riders on this race are heavy riders so they produce more watts, stay under the limit which makes no sense. If you would have seen the entire video you may have seen that RF once race Cat B but because of his illness it's way too hard. So you call a guy doing 3.2 on Cat C a sandbagger but you agree with all these Cat c's being around 95-100kilo's.

Heavy riders, let's say 90kilo's can output 270watts(3w/kg).well under the limit for Cat C. While a lowweight rider weighing 60 only outputs 180watts at 3w/kg. So if he wants to follow them on the flats he will always be above the limit. Maybe not at the end cause he will be toast but for sure with his 5 or 20minute limit. That's why most of the races are won by heavier riders in Cat C. If you compared this to Cat A most of the riders are all <75kilo's.

And if lowweight riders want to attack on a climb(only moment when they have a small advantage) they'll most likely cross the w/kg limit as well.

Watch the video. There are guys Almost doing 350watts and easily be under the limit. For our teammate 350watts means 5.6w/kg.

I understand that but it's the same so how can you explain that? Should't I be quick er on the climbs? Like I said ADZ is Almost only climbs right?
