Beautifull finish! That's what I like, taking initiative to your own hands not waiting for the sprint! You're winner for me here!

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Gotta grab the bull by the… 😅

Big ones too!

[@YerenRosie]

Good race. Very close at the end. The ghost is a double edged sword. Gotta really SNAP when you pop it to get that distance and just try and hold. I've found the most effective way is to drift back slightly, build up speed through the pack, pop the ghost, then snap out ahead. Hopefully get enough distance to maintain. Easier said that done after a tough race though. Well done mate!

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Ya the timing and pace at that moment just seem RIGHT so we loaded up the cannon and fired it off!!!!!! No Guts No Glory!

[@DragonRides75]

great ride glad the resistance was working so close in the end just pipped for the podium

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

As long as we are BACK IN THE GAME!

[@tathh2531]

Stunning ending Erik 👏 but with the power those others put down in the last 100m you didn't stand a chance. Awesome stuff Erik. Great having you back with the resistance 😁

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Oh I knew that which is why I played my cards vs finishing last in that pack =p

[@fwschnaar3179]

Nice Dig Eric… Nothing like Bleeding Out your Eyeballs, and 200meters from the Line, and the Orange Power Numbers start lighting up behind You 😳👍🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Need the electric drill for the final kick!

[@imprezaaudi]

Deployed ghost too early and didn't burst away from pack, its only a short period power up. Best time seems to be go ghost on T junction, with huge sprint to get 3 or more seconds lead with less distance to finish. Great attempt 👍

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

The pace of the group just seemed to die so things felt right to POP OFF at that moment!

[@davidlongbottom4157]

What a finishing effort - you are the main man🎉

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

I try I try

[@TheITNerd]

Nice effort. Using the ghost is a tricky exercise. You have to time it just right to get the best results. Advice from an IT guy, you should open a ticket with Wahoo as your recent issues with your trainer likely haven't gone away. They likely will return.

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Ha Zwift might have reached out to me already 😅

[@ronm9357]

Nice! Glad you got it working. 🙌

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Thanks Zwift!

[@jdbarzy]

Nice racing with you! Looks like you’re back!

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Always nice to race friends and family!!! See ya again out there ✌🏽

[@user-bz8dv3lx5x]

heart breaker ending. Nice work.

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Heartbreaking but one day it will stick and we will party like it’s 1999n

[@scottmccann4509]

That's what i call the "Hero or Zero move". 💪💪Almost worked from the slight incline but how do people manage to get such high sprint numbers is crazy!

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

I ask myself that exact question ALL THE TIME!

[@psymanj73]

Erik, Great to see you back and completing a race 😜 Cracking top 5! 👊 Thought you had gone way to early but actually, you probably timed it well looking at some of those sprints behind you 💪 🚲 Achieved to full potential 😉

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Tbh I though so too, then for a split second I though I maybe had it but let off the gas and it was over regardless.

[@CBRMackie63]

Great effort Erik, glad your trainer let you get through it! Good timing on that ghost, i was rooting on ya!!!

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Mannnnnn had I not let up for a second I could have bagggggged a damn podium!!!!

[@CBRMackie63]

@@DontGetDroppedCycling stage 4 was a beast...make sure you stay attached on the decent after the Acropolis Sprint Reverse. I got dropped like a rock by a guy in the super-tuck because he had a gap on me. Make sure you're on a wheel!

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

@CBRMackie63 hahahaha stay turned to the next Zwift drop!

[@alejandro.a.m]

What was the problem or issue then ?? It was because of the trainer ? Or zwift app? Did you do something different ?? Thanks and great race ❤

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

You gotta ask Zwift. I did nothing different 🤷🏻‍♂️ Been working alright this week when I’ve logged on so far 👌🏽

Taylor Zwift 🤣🤣

Easily the greatest username on Zwift!

Nooiiiice!

[@anonymousraz0294]

Awesome effort bro, you should have attacked in the last 300 or 250 meters so you could have easily won.

[@BLachance75]

So close, great use of the ghost.

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Might as well tryyyyyy! I was already partly celebrating inside but I saw Tay Tay coming up FAST! Can't compete against her BANGERS!

Saw Tay Tay and already knew a sprint wasn't gonna be in the cards for me!

[@carbonlord.]

That's the way to Ghost yourself.👻

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Casper the Friendly Ghost! 👻

[@zwiftingwithdemonhunter]

"I almost had it!" In the words of the great Dominic Toretto, "You almost had me? You never had me." You did give Tay a really good lead out, though.

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Better than minor places rollin in last of the group!

[@rkclime4]

So what was the issue/fix?

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

🤷🏻‍♂️ ask Zwift! I didn’t change anything 😅

[@rkclime4]

@@DontGetDroppedCycling 🤔 hmmmm

[@DontGetDroppedCycling]

Seriously. I did nothing different except be a bit conservative and didn’t connect my bolt. Pretty sure whatever was broken in the background hopefully is a ok now!

[@rkclime4]

Awesome
