I got lost I saw a guy breaking away at the beginning he had like 30 sec advantage and then he vanished.

How to podium. Do a race with only three racers in your category. 😉

[@volkervoit]

Naaaa, that would be a bit too easy and no fun ☺️

[@jasonjenkins1975]

with your capabilities on power, and on easy rides like this as you called them, why don't you make it harder and ride at your FTP with the hope of solo breakaway and a possible chance of a win.....Isn't that worth a go as you said you cant win a sprint.....Just a thought :)

[@chappy24]

Because then you run the risk of gassing yourself out then you definitely will not have a good finishing kick. The lead group is going to stay with you and you are going to lose a lot of energy most the time. But sometimes the main group loses riders when someone breaks away which is a good thing, especially if you are in the top 5 or 6 riders.

[@JNorth87]

Why do you think he doesn't sometimes do that? There is a life and there are rides outside of what gets posted on youtube.

[@volkervoit]

Thanks, did that a few times in real life races and got me some wins, in Zwift on flat courses that’s almost impossible, would need to ride much much harder than FTP to get away and likely cook yourself

[@jasonjenkins1975]

@volkervoit that now makes sense thank you. Great vids as usual thanks 👍

[@chappy24]

@@volkervoit all depends what is going on, on the steep climbs in Zwift the field tends to separate. Or a course with a good mix of hills and flats and steep hills is better because some riders are able to stick around on flat courses and stick with the main group and then just win on a sprint otherwise they would be dropped or completely gassed at the end just keeping up
