😂😂😂👌

Congrats man. Honda flew up like a fuckin missile lol christtt

@@drewbuffington he was flying 😂

Thanks mate! 100m out I thought I had it, and then the final two seconds I just had to hope for the best! Was celebrating while I waited for the results screen, so i'm lucky I held on!

Woah, what a win, and what a race. Well done

I usually like descents in big groups and find them the easiest places to save watts vs others.. even being light. But steep ones in small groups is not good!

Thanks mate. Enjoy the honour of wearing that KOM jersey ;)

@@tefer1982 On indievelo I use a game controller for shifting and I save my bikes gears. I have the bike in a mid range gear for racing and use about 50% trainer difficulty. If I'm training or climbing I'll be in a bit easier gear on my bike.. but you can just change the # of virtual gears in the settings, anyway!

@@totolekoala thanks for setting it up. I was going to do stage 4 and 6 also, but because I can't do 3 and 5 I have set up some more climby events for those days for me. We will see! Thanks, I felt amazing in the ITT

@@dazcarter73 Look forward to it mate

@@nilebattey Thanks heaps Nile. I know only true esports fans would watch past 15 mins or so, so really appreciate that! I think I saw your name on the start list for the ZWS later, so goodluck!

Hey mate, yeah it was this one. It was super fast on the climbs early on with Joe out front and a few cheaters pushing hard. It did settle down a fair bit once we caught Joe

@@_joshharris Haha… I remember people cursing Joe being there in the chat before hand! I finished 3 of these and they all had DQs on ZP or fliers. Best I did was 1 hour 2 minutes. If you’re taking this Zwift GP seriously I believe the time is what’s important… I guess you really have to find the most competitive race! I had a 2-sided A4 list of instructions for that race/course… Was good training and fun to do. 12 hard efforts :) I found the best tactic was to try to stay with as long as possible and then use all your matches on the 3rd from last 1km climb, then into the penultimate short steep climb. Race is won or lost there… that’s if you can keep up to that point!

@@benfinesilver2250 Great stuff mate. I jumped in because World Champs this week means I won't be able to do the Elite ZWS on this course unfortunately, so thought it'd still be a good race to tick off. Yeah I think the community one would be a time based GC, but as you say all depends on field size and which cheaters pull the peloton the most! It was a punchy course. Looking forward to jealously watching the other elites race it!

@@JimmyJet-s5v key moments out of the saddle to produce the power, and non important bits/power I prefer a low cadence because it allows me to get on top of the gear for the next key moment without shifting! Hate seeing an attack go and be at too high rpm, needing to shift up 6-7 times haha! I ride day to day higher, but for races I'm always ready to follow a move

@@benfinesilver2250 g'day mate, it was actually a bug that this video helped find in game where humans weights were incorrect even though my stats appeared normal... Hence why I climbed slowly, and descended easily

@@_joshharris Fair play. Keep smashing it as you always do!

@@shayyoung1 I don't think any have been setup yet. I think the functionality is now there but no opportunities yet

@@sigfreed11 I did see this the other day and had a look. Depends what happens at WC semi finals first I think before I decide anything, but definitely an option!

@@_joshharris makes sense! The Zommunique website will release details in the next couple of days

@@MrPedel awesome stuff mate, and based on your FB post I believe you must've made the worlds team, so congratulations!

@@_joshharris Yeah, apparently they ran out of actual contenders :) But tbh I'm super excited just to be there and hopefully be of some use to the team. I take it that your participation is a given, so good luck to you too, mate.

Having the points appear immediately is such a joy. Like a proper game. Great racing, man.

@@mickaelplantureux1380 agree completely with your thoughts. I just did a flat race and all of these things were much improved, and I think the climbing findings we have will be sorted 🤞

@@_joshharris I did a test in a climb with another rider heavier than me, he was climbing 3.5wkg and I had 4.5wkg, he was climbing faster than me, this is the only problem not solved, the more legers are disadvantaged in the climbs...

@@mickaelplantureux1380 I just saw there's a Facebook post acknowledging an issue and it's being resolved 🤞

@@_joshharris Oh yes it would be cool. I sent a message to mywhoosh, they told me that there will not be this problem tomorrow, to see in the climb of heritage climb ;)

without having experienced this bug, I can confirm (after having raced SRC last night) that heavier riders are again dropped just the same as we were previously. There's certainly no advantage. To the point where it's the same as before and much lighter riders will still power away as w/kg is still king on the climbs. Can say this as one of the heaviest riders in my grade

@@Barney_NZ Yep, i definitely agree with that too, but I feel like this is different. Me and this guy could be 100m apart and to maintain that 100m gap it seems as though I have to put out far more w/kg. I have had some messages overnight from some top riders saying that they had similar.. getting dropped (on a climb) by someone at 2.9w/kg vs them doing 4w/kg 🤣 SRC tomorrow will be interesting to see anyway! Hopefully all is good 🤞

@@_joshharris hahaha I still get dropped at my chunky watts at 75kg

@@Barney_NZ it's such a demoralising way to end the week, so late on a Sunday 🤣

@@_joshharris painful way to end it at 11pm 🤣🤣

@@Barney_NZ daylight savings soon mate 🤣

That doesnt look too good for lighter riders. I imagine MW wanted to differentiate their physics from Zwift’s, but they might have gone a bit too far to favor watts over wkg

Interesting mate. Definitely hearing a few people seeing similar strangeness. Keep testing it out mate, because you're probably the person who would be impacted most if there is something not working correctly!

@@brianwakem7258 absolutely. I've raced very infrequently compared to usual, partly because of it!

@@IanEnder08 hey mate, didn't know you were also putting out videos! Sounds like an interesting idea, could work. Not sure when though!!

@@KuriReevel appreciate it 😊

@@YerenRosie Thank you. Yeah this one has been very accurate for what I need it for, a touch slow to respond if anything.. I have a chest HR for elite racing, but I save it for those occasions as I've sweated and broke too many

Yeah, not an exciting one... just opened this one up because I don't have anything coming out in the next few days!

@@_joshharris I watched anyway haha good win 🥇

Hey mate, I like to do a big mix of what's on for motivation- you'd get a lot through Chasing! Lately they've been things like; portal events, unticked routes (multiple platforms), some workouts, IV bot 'races' + been doing a 3 hour climbing route each week with all hills at tempo+.. (Monday I did a manual route with 8 zwift koms) I don't do anything in Erg. Usually terrain, sometimes fixed resistance (Zwift workout mode).. In terms of cadence I tend to do these ones at 55-75.. Most training tends to come out 58-68, but when racing im usually 65-75 because it's more natural/allows higher power.

Thanks mate, appreciated!
