Nice race mate, especially considering how you’re feeling! Always tough in B1 but a great series! Will I see you in FRR January? I hope so! 👍🏻

Great race!

Gg Sam, was a good round 💪 I was in the breakaway with the boys, but zwift app decided to stop working with 6km to go.... Really could have won it. Big kudos to m'y breakaway mate, WE did an Amazing move, very rare in zwift races, especially in ZRL

I thought you were coming with me 😅. Thanks for the videos and hope we race again next year

Have you tried TrainingPeaks Virtual yet? They are starting up a ladder racing series over there - super fun to watch

Gg Sam, it was a tough one😅

Well done on a hard race (finish)! Im in the same boat as you.. not feeling fit again after been sick!

Excellent result!!!! Those club ladder races look tough.

Good effort Sam! Racing 3days back to back you crazy man😅 Looking forward to next one, keep it up!

Nice video Sam! Have you gotten the route profile mod to work for the new routes?

Nice video, very good analysis, thanks for the race!

Crazy you did back to back racing ZRL and then Ladder next day and still got 4th against a strong team. Big fan of you content, very close this one. Keep it up.

Where can I get that s4z mod with the route profile? ☺️

nice coverage 👍

In spite of your sprint, you did an amazing job! The front riders were also sprinting at 10w/kg which is a monster effort

What a furious pace!!! We have by FAR the most comeptitive B group of the ZRL. We made it between 40sec and 1min10sec (average) faster than all of the other B cat. Well done Sam, you did great. It seems like the FRR made you stronger :) GG

Thanks for the race good sir. Hopefully I can keep up on the Tuesdays next time!

Good work

Great race and great content! Look forward to ZRL next week

Superb race Sam, you dealt with those climbs with relative ease- I reckon you’ve got a win in you in this series mate! Will be watching along 😀

Good job Sam and great race . It was very hard but the next race will be harder. See you next week :)

Great work sam

Nyklippt, snyggt😘

Snyggt kört Sam! Det var hårt igår 😅 speciellt med gemensam start så blir det orimligt hårt för alla kategorier under A

Again, super video, and excellent race. As far as the ZRS it seems as long as you are in the top 2/3 your score will go up and I believe the closer you are to the top spots the higher exponentially your school will increase.

Nice review Sam - I'm with you on most of the content. Very little I'd disagree with. But with the latest announcement for Britannia a lot will change for the next tour. Will be interesting to see how that pans out. On the face of it, it looks like a very different approach that should lead to a fair filtering process. Essentially riders cat'd on their current form (so illness, injury etc taken into account) and if they start hitting numbers substantially above their qualifier stage then it will be easy spot. I like to think of it like your are setting a ceiling on your performance for the rest of the tour. Some improvement might happen but your numbers on fresh legs at the start of a tour surely set your ceiling close enough and then its about who can repeat that most consistently for the week+ and not about who can imporve by an extra w/kg in the next week 🙂

Hi are you looking for a professional KZbin video SEO expert?

Thanks for the video, the problem with the 5 minute PB is there. I am also an old diesel, new PBs are rare. We had a different phenomenon in BON. The winner always drove the last session. The times achieved there were weaker overall. So he had less eGAP and won more often - his overall time was then also significantly slower than the following riders in the GC. If I had ridden the last stage with him, for example, I would have kept my place in the GC. So I was in the strongest run and lost a lot of time. But overall, FRR is the fairest system on Zwift.

I finished the frame in 27th position at 11 minutes and with a Velo 1772 at 30 days. The same as your current Sam in Velo. I am more diesel and I failed in the first stages but I went from less to more. I went from category B to cat.A. Every runner with category A+ has to go to Cap. I like your comments before and after the race with the descriptions of each stage. You will have many more subscribers. Good health and see you soon. Greetings

I think the v-Elo score was turned off because people going for the jerseys may not be finishing races well, but winning their jersey, and they may be unfairly dropping v-Elo. I still don't think I agree with turning it off, but I can see the thought process behind it.

Another great tour for sure! You did great and hammered true all 10 stages. In my opinion, a A+ rider should always be a CAP, always. Regardless of current or 30 day Velo rating. But, FRR was fun as always :) Lets hope they keep the Velo rating rolling proper next tour.

Complete agreement on the vELO score freeze for places. There were riders in my cat finishing 10 mins in front of some of the slower riders in each stage, but because they were riding steadier efforts for GC and already had high 5 min PBs, they wouldn't get score upgrades. This was then made to look worse when I saw some of those same slower riders get upgraded even though they were finishing WAY back because they would hit a 5min PB on a segment, and when looking at the 5min w/kg, it was actually usually lower than the 5min power numbers the leaders were putting out, its just that those leaders weren't putting out PBs, so riders were getting bumped up a category even though their 5min power was lower than the guys crushing every stage. I'm sure Rich will get it right for the next race though, and I can't wait until January!

Great job, and congratulations on top 50! I wish I could have completed all 10 stages so I know how I would actually do in my category. I ended in 69th for CAY of this that completed 9 stages. Considering this was my first one I had a great experience.

Great work Sam, well done! All these different categorization systems are getting frustrating 😂I think that despite the seemingly widespread belief that a results-based system is the way to go that there needs to be a decent weighting on a riders actual ability (i.e. power numbers). The current Zwift racing score (which is loosely based on the vELO Rating system used here), would have me ranked with Tadej, just because I compete in a few races! Because of this FRR series it looks like I will now be stuck in A cat for Zwift despite having B grade abilities and the fact that most of the B grade races I've done are being destroyed by A+ level riders. Despite any wishful thinking a 5 w/kg+ rider is always going to destroy a 4w/kg- rider on a long climb 😜 Great series and keep up the excellent work!

Well done Sam, really enjoy your edits, look forward to the shakedown and racing with you again on the next tour.

Great Race Sam !! Way to finish out the tour 🙌🏻

Thanks for your work and content. It was good fun to re-suffer with you all the 10 episodes of fun… and your preview of the next stage was very helpful too. Looking forward for your tour recap 😊

To reply why i found my legs -> i had a drop-out for about 3-4 seconds on the uphill. So full stop when you guys steamed on :-)

You should have typed something! :-) i just pedelt on without looking who wanted to follow!

Tjena Sam! Ville bara säga att jag har följt din serie om TB här under hela touren, både för mitt eget höga nöjes skull men också som basinfo om nästa etapp. Alltid intressant och kul att se etapperna från ditt perspektiv och ständigt imponerande att du orkar sätta igång med lite videoredigering och contentskapande nästan direkt efter racen, grymt jobbat!

Great video🔥 and great effort❤ had to sub🇳🇴🤝🇸🇪

I did a 2h30 MTB race in the morning, then this race. Felt fine in the front group all the way to the final hill, and then KABOOM. I was in pain pushing 3-3.5W/kg. Lost 3m30 on that one climb and dropped from 5th to 15th *on GC. Absolutely brutal.

Great effort Sam Total respect

Excellent finish time. Took me 2 hours 9 minutes to complete this stage. Again great videos, they have helped me immensely!

God luck today Sam!

Bra kjørt! Har sett alle videoene du har lagt ut.. bra info :) Lykke til i siste racet.

Just wanted to pop in and say thank you for formatting your videos the way you do they have helped me immensely with the FRR racing

210W / 3.6W/kg = 58.3kg. Is that correct?

Great effort! I’m going to do the ITT at 7 😂

Ha, I was dropped from DRA & you swept past me at 5:52 (CLS Kit) . I chilled in that 2nd group until I was dropped from them.
