Sugar Cookie Recon | ZRL Stage 2 | Tips to win

[@inthedrops]

Aeros at the first 4 powerup banners, feather at the final one (Woodland Sprint) for use at the Epic (or breakaway just after the sprint?)

[@robertmuntz799]

I like this recon show. I need something between weekly races to get ready to ride / watch the live races. Well done!

[@inthedrops]

Thanks a lot Robert.. glad you appreciate them. We have our podcast each weekend plus a new recon video every Wednesday.

[@rjl6789]

Cheers, great stuff. Will see how much of that can implement… or as usual watch all the good intentions get blown within 10k!

[@ZwiftyZwifter]

Everyone has a plan until you have to do 4 longish sprints!

[@inthedrops]

At almost 40kms, smart racers will have 2 or 3 plans, all being used at the same time.. but yeh, everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face..

[@MichaelThorne_za]

Thanks for the tips Rob! 🙌💪

[@inthedrops]

Thanks Michael.. just keep it a secret and don't tell anyway.. hahaha. What do you think of the lower FTS points?

[@peymojo]

Fantastic recon Rob! (LOL Crab Shack) I'm expecting the rise up to that first FAL to be bonkers. Should make for some exciting racing.

[@inthedrops]

Thanks very much.. its going to be a big big race and very much more dynamic than past seasons.

[@davidtowle7101]

Really good work here man!

[@inthedrops]

Thanks David, this race is going to be great with lots of opportunities for different riders. Are you looking forward to it?

[@crankgreenwatts]

This is going snap legs off 🥵 Nice review Rob 🙌

[@inthedrops]

Thanks.. this is going to be super spicey, possibly the hardest race of round 1? What do you think?

[@crankgreenwatts]

@@inthedrops Yeah, as it's quite a mixed bag to be honest. As you say if cannot hold in the sprints, your out the back, and leaving on a jet plane 🛫 Then you have a choice whether to just bumble along or TT it to the end .. the point spread means it's worth cracking on and hope for the legs 😂

[@drewbuffington]

Super good breakdown

[@inthedrops]

Thanks Drew, hope its helps..

[@PunchyZwifter]

Sprint, sprint, sprint, sprint..... try not to die..... sprint. Go have a beer. Sorted

[@inthedrops]

You have got this locked in David.. #AllThePoints

[@MrFran-gk5ge]

Great race tips as always I've taken notes. Now delete it nobody else needs to see this.

[@ZwiftyZwifter]

Yeah, always a tough one especially as I’m in a team this year.

[@doomguyzwifting]

[@xandershawvlog]

@@inthedrops I wish I could drop a picture to explain but the link works thank you.

[@Iwan-PowerCranks]

Shame about the clluttered segment videos - Sauce and poor quality doesn't make for nice viewing. Apart from that, nice preview!

[@ZwiftyZwifter]

Thanks! He won’t listen to me about the Sauce setup!

[@inthedrops]

Thanks Iwan, not the first time someone has said that. Rob gives me gravy, so I changed it, which you can see in today’s ZRL race 2. Thanks for watching
