14 min 30 👀not a good look 😂. Never done this course and thinking "what climbs" halfway through, oh those climbs 👀. You gave up on that final sprint until you looked up and realised you could win, but lost that touch of momentum. Look at those average powers on the leaderboard, wonder what place was the 1st "C" rider. I know it's the new scoring system but I just feel I'm reaching B's also
Yeah 14:30 looks fishy man lol I was pushing my leg just to find some rest. I havent looked at the others but I suspect first five or more would be lower cat B by the old system. Maybe a few more.
@@brutalclimb did you look at zwift power? I just did a race today (castle circuit). I'm in the same group as you 470 score and C. However the winner did 3.8w/kg average and half the course was a freewheel downhill. I came 5th and the top 12 were all Bs. I think the cats are more of a mess than before
@@scottmccann4509 Yes, I had a look. Winner did 3.6 w/kg. So did number 4 and 5. I have never done 3.6 in my life. Winner got 518 in racing score, just 3 points off an upgrade. If I was that guy, I would hold back ever so slightly so I wouldn't get upgraded to the next category and be imprisoned to lower half - bottom race results for all eternity. In the last races, he has won two and came in second the third time. And he can do this because he falls dead perfect into these racing scores. The guy basically gets a podium every time he does a race. Insane. He is touching that ceiling of this category ever so well, but not crossing over the limit. If I had been smart I would have held back during that race (that means not coming close to death at the sprint finish) I won and could have continued in the other category for perhaps a month or two before getting an upgrade. Maybe. The winner in the category below me is about my stats. Would have been fun. Maybe this will even itself out with time, but considering my stats, weight, race power and so on - I will not reach any podiums this season. At all.
@@brutalclimb if that person is getting constantly good results then surely his points increase quickly?. Or is it solely on the riders you beat? I was 450 and now 477 coming in 5th but no way could I keep up with 1st. I've got the steering, Tacx Neo plus bike and clever with positioning, momentum and tactics. I just don't have the raw power and endurance of the other riders. I just looked again on zwift power, the rider who won, always wins or top 3. I had no hope in hell keeping up. I've never got better than 5th (I'm 477 and they're 480)WTAF that doesn't make sense
Still, very well done!!
Great battle at the end! I could see them coming up, and with the power up got lucky with the timing, hope to see you again out there!
@@karlsaarela3970 I had no idea they came so fast. Wasnt aware enough. Great stuff man, hope to see you again!
