No, I actually weigh that according to lab calibrated scales.
I have myself down as 68kg at the moment. 99% sure the fact I can’t drink currently is making the weight fall off which is both good and bad (I’d sooner have a beer!). They should make people weigh themselves at the post office for Zwift to stop cheating.
Post office?! lol
Well ZADA do request real world evidence from riders holding 5w/kg , I think from a registered coach. Not sure if evidence from a Post Office also sufficed (selfie on the scales?)
I've always assumed you should ignore the graphical representation of your position on the road and take it that you are drafting if you're tightly packed/tightly grouped so to speak.
Hmm, maybe that's me jumping to conclusions. Although it'd make no sense if Zwift you rode out of a draft situation, why would it do that?
Zwift will randomly throw you onto the outside exposing you to more wind and removing some draft effect. I don't believe you get a 'bow wave' benefit from riders behind you as has been tested and quantified by some aero testing. There was some chatter which kinda hinted it was if you held a constant power more likely to happen, then if you eased you'd generally drop back into draft again.
The same way the cornering seems 'random' about the line taken. I believe the riders weight (size) enters into this and being a larger rider (75kg) I've found if I soft pedal on the lead in, I'll generally take a slingshot line through the corner - slightly middle and then cutting back through the apex. Lighter riders still keeping a tighter line, but 'beating' riders of a similar weight on the exit and carrying more speed...
I did the Korea cat & mouse handicap today. <snip> 3-3.5wkg was the advertised watts for C grade<snip> I got DQ for 3.3w from the main results
Annoying. I'd dispute this if you where concerned about the result? Most organised ride groups have a facebook page and it's the usual place to contact their admins.
For now there is no point 'hit' from being DQ. You get nullified from race results so can't lose points. Same with CVR. As some of the CVR riders have done - if you ride badly and are low down and afraid of losing points, you pull up before the finish and get 'DNF' as that doesn't carry any loss of points (nor does a DQ). This will get 'fixed' soon as there is quite a lot of backlash from valid riders, placing well in races and then losing points due to riders getting DQ/DNF from the results. Then as of course the ranking points are calculated against the points of those you raced against (only if they're not DQ/DNF) you 'lose' points as the race looks like it hadn't got many attendees...
Fun.
At WBR the admin team has started adding time to any DQ riders finish times rather than a DQ, at the moment I think it's an hour. These DQ riders lose points & valid riders gain points from them as they 'finished' and are shown in ZP results. Unfortunately admins don't yet have the tools to reclassify a rider DNF'd by ZP and excluded from results.
Points is still in it's infancy, so it's all valid stuff and a steep learning curve for those using it for racing (also being very subject to lots of changes!)
