He was dropped from the results for no heart rate monitor. Google says he's an x pro racer 2012-2023 from Luxembourg. I watched his power during your race. They all seemed legit to me for an A+ cat rider. He attacked to soften you guy up then he attacked again, and you guys didn't respond. He gapped you guys so bad because you were doing way too much Z2 riding. Look at all the blue in your graph. He doesn't spend much time on Zwift. If you want to see his ZP results, go to the race then click the Live results and he will show. Great job pushing up the Brea at the end...that's always a tough sprint for me!
Great effort, Gerben! 🎉 You never disappoint with how hard you push! 💪 The jury is out on the cheating though. No spiky or flat high power that you would usually associate with a cheater. However, riders, particularly in A cat should race with a HRM on. I suspect, just an anonymous black belt, who doesn’t really care about an HRM, out to beat Gerben! 😂
I had a special one last night, though no a race but hey everyone likes to push it in the Tours 😬😬. Sitting in smallish group of 5, when we noticed a German rider doing 7.7wkg for 10km! Came passed like we were standing still.. 🤣🤣🤣 Just ride your own race I say
Hi Gerben! Recently come across your channel and love your vids. You are lovely chap as well. One thing I really feel for you and Cat A riders, this seems to be the cat with the biggest amount of cheats in it! I race Cat D and never seem to come across cheats because they aren’t interested in winning a cat D race. For me, Zwift needs to make Cat A (as a trial) the verified Cat. They partner with certain gyms in each country that has weighing machines where riders are weighed and are verified by staff as being that weight.
I’m a mid Cat C and cheaters are about 3% of the field, but they always finish ahead of me. I’ve reported a few but the ZwiftPower results don’t always change. :(
@@robertnobles8189 Funny you should say that, I’ve just raced to tonight and am adamant I had a cheater in it. Did average watts but then little bursts where their legs would be going at around 200RPM. It’s really sad that people feel the need to cheat on Zwift.
De winnaar was volgens mij geen cheater, is een actieve cyclocross/MTB renner (heb er zelf nog wedstrijden tegen gereden). Zou me verbazen moest hij zijn waardes vervalsen.
Doubt. Hij is een aantal keer geDQ’ed wegens overschrijding w/k waardes in ZP. En een stapel keer geDQ’ed wegens rare hrm meldingen. Ook qua wattages komt hij aan het uurrecord wattage van Tony Martin. 🤷

True. Maybe I am indeed wrong on this one. But his ZwiftPower profile got quite a few DQ’s for 20min w/k.

These guys are the worst indeed. Got passed too by a guy going at incredible speed🤪
Your right Paul, just ride your own event it's only a game.
Lekker! Goede race, p.3🎉
Een van de betere 😎
Good race, you kept pushing to the very end.
Yeah. That got me on the podium. Never surrender! 🥵

Yes. Cat A is the wild Wild West of ZWIFT. But thank you for watching! Much appreciated 👍

Nah. Reporting is useless. Best is to slam them on RUclips :) @@robertnobles8189

What do the cheaters get out of it? Does he think "Yipee, I beat Gerben!" Because he really didn't.
I don’t know really. Bit sad though ☹️
Did your ghost bug out? It looks like it only worked for 2-3 seconds.
YES! I was also confused by that one! Good call!
Ghost power ups don’t work in the last 400m of a race so it stopped working at that point.
Let me guess, Wahoo HR monitor.
LOLLLLL YES!
