when the review is coming (of the bike :) - Cheers.

did a 45 min group ride last night of Lady Liberty and ended with 1155 ft of elevation gained with a leisurely 182 watts soooooo more elevation in less time for 9 extra watts I will do it my way lol

Really well edited - thanks!

I'm getting smoked by heavier riders when racing. Always leading in terms of W/KG but raw power is king on Zwift. Not taking it too serious though and just enjoying the exercise, so not complaining.

Excellent. I wasn't going to say anything because so many others said it but I LOVE THIS FORMAT. As I said previously I am new to Zwift. Have only 'raced' a couple of times and I use the term raced very loosely. Everyone who comes here comes with a different background and for a different reason but for me finding your channel has had the biggest positive impact on my Zwift training and development and I am super grateful for the effort you have made in producing your content. As I also said previously I only found Xert through you and it has made a massive difference to my training. I watch these videos to better understand Zwift racing and tactics and for me this is EXACTLY the content I am interested in and getting to see your analysis and thoughts regarding your race brings a huge amount more to the experience of consuming your content. So, considering I was going to say nothing I have already said way too much. Great work. Keep it up. Love this format/style of video.

Started zwift with 130kg and 236W in November, now im at 122kg and 267W ftp

I actually raced and won on that course earlier this evening, and now Zwift has placed me in your category. You did the course on bad legs about three minutes faster than I did on the ride of my life. :)

What i try to do in a really controlled sprint on the trainer is a caleb ewan technique , get yourself of the saddle body torso forward low over the bars , where your legs forward of the cranks , try it , I find it helps generate extra watts controllably , find your gear , switch one up under load if needed , try it

Nice one Adam. I also got 6th yesterday in a lower Category!!

Good race format Adam. It look like ppl like the shorter versions with description of the route together with the thoughts as its happening in our heads. Keep up

Liking this format! The parcours analysis, race tactics and narration of the rider mental state mid-race were all on point!

Where’s my free 20w ????

Obcas nam nohy pekne kecaj...a hlava je silnejsi 😅 uz tyden odsouvam rest day

In the old cat C system if there were 100 riders I finished 50, if there was 20 I finished 9th so on and so forth , never won F A but I didn’t mind. Now I finish last all the time. I’ll keep entering though as it gives the cat Bs someone to kick around.

Love this format ❤

Nice 👌 Any reason you don't live stream it 🤔 I've always just been in the moment and people hear what am feeling not a voice overlay. Welcome your comments please 🙌

2025 starts with a bang 🎉 congrats!

That last 700 meters was really impressive from almost dropped to 6th. Fair play champ

Did the 1st stage long yesterday after 6 weeks off the bike,2.5k riders,unreal Did the medium today,enjoyed both

Wouldnt it be possible to set game difficulty to 0 and just ride AdZ untill you get the bike?

Thank you for this excellent and very well explained analysis. As a heavier rider (88kg), I often find it a bit demoralising on climbs against lighter riders. However, I now realise this is probably down to my lack of skill rather than just weight 😂.

La Reine? I am so in for that one Nvm doesnt go to the summit hahaha, interest lost

Just did 2 straight C's...1st was Pedal to metal and 2nd was my Zone 2 ride for the day, haha

And don’t forget about the Grand Tour over on TrainingPeaks Virtual at the end of March 🙌🏻

Just did Tour de Zwift (C) London Flat, and the front was the spiciest! 🌶️🔥 The winner got the KOM 👑 for the course, I was 6th for the course but that won’t last the day.

Hey Mate, thanks for that clue! Already had done 46k vertical meters, but wanted to finally get the tron. Became two quite interesting rides, as i wasnt alone doing it. Had to turn down the trainer difficulty to zero, wish gave me a pretty stable zone 2 ride, without any shifting gears. :D

Adam, - why do I recognize that kit of yours (Irl, not in-game)? Can you tell me which it is? It looks fantastic!

I've been zwifting for 2 months. I was injured from getting hit by a car and crashing out of the peloton a month later. My ftp was 170w first ftp. 60 days later, my ftp is 260w and my stats keep going up. Eat right. Train right. You will get those numbers. Honestly the slower you go, the faster you get. Zone 2 gets ya faster in the end game ❤

Great progress - must keep it fun, where else can you find people to race 24/7 from around the world ... its just so convenient. Here's how I approach it. Z2 mostly Zwift (group rides, Tour Zwift etc 1-2 hours, 6 hours a week) , structured workouts Zwift (1 or 2 a week), outdoors more longer epic rides like today I did 80 km | 1800 m climbing. Racing on Zwift? I prefer the group rides where I can self seed and go hard for certain sections or whole ride, one problem I had was doing 'too' much intensity on Zwift, hammies sore for weeks. Now it depends what your targeting to keep fit, base - can't beat Zwift, increase ftp, Zwift all the way as its structured. A fondo must go outdoors for event specificity. Bottom line is do what you enjoy, eat right, have a 3 week on, 1 week rest cycle, happy days.

If your goal is to train efficiently and with Max result It should be a small part of your week, definately not the majority. 80 % should consist of solid endurance work, especially of you havent got 10+ years of training behind you. But yeah, once a week its great 🔥

Good job Adam from Ireland

I did the same race earlier in the day, our times are pretty close and the ZRS bump up was identical (pre/post race), up to 520+ now so going to get our legs shredded!! Great content on your site, keep up the good work! TJ Ps-be good if you dropped a few of your upcoming races on here, maybe some of the subscribers could join for a smash fest!!

It was the real Road to A! :D (Me being M. Verhaegen) I did a Flat is Fast race before this which is basically a 20min max effort at my weight. So as a low B after a race, I had to settle in with your C group halfway in the Titans descent. I was quite surprised everyone just kept my wheel on the volcano though. Some good riders in our group! Just checked the numbers, I pulled half the volcano at a steady 4.5w/kg with most keeping my wheel arround 4.0w/kg.

Your progress is amazing. The road to A is open for you!!

Good report. Thank you.

How boring, just be a man and go yeti hunting up AdZ

Happy new Year. Good job.

Heat, train in heat. It works alot
