because a big climb is going to be a test of w/kg not pure watts so you would think bernal would fare better?

also if it’s a climb, setting the trainer difficulty higher not lower would help someone like dennis because he’ll be wanting more resistance. no idea if they are going to regulate that, but presumably riders can change the gearing on their bike which amounts to the same thing.

maybe actually, yeah. It still essentially boils down to each stage being ‘ride as hard as you can for an hour’ which is gonna suit some riders a lot more than others.

Yeah, I was reading a cycling magazine last night (can’t remember which one, I have a Readly subscription so I flick through loads) and it was talking about pros struggling to do well in Zwift races. One thing it mentioned was that loads of them simply aren’t used to riding near, at or above threshold for the 50-odd minutes of a race.

#226

anyone else watching the zwift de france then?

#227

lol no

#228

Why haven’t they brought out the Eurosport big guns for this?

Just one poor bloke on his own trying to hold everything together

#231

i’m watching on youtube, they’ve got the ex-gcn man

#232

Yeah same

I don’t miss him but its not as if Kirby is gonna be busy elsewhere is he?

Would quite like the regional recipe segment as well

No wait - there’s 2 different feeds on YouTube showing the same thing but with different commentators? :upside_down_face:

Good work aso

They do know they can use the full width of the road, right? Cos you know, a) the roads are closed, b) it’s not real.

#235

it says GvA is only doing 60rpm… i don’t think he is

#236

Teunnisen is racing now? Must’ve just been a casual 50km 7w/kg warm up spin earlier.

#237

MvdP recovering at 100+ rpm

#238

Does what he wants

van rensburg going long

wonder if they’ve got the DS in their ear telling them when to hit the burrito powerup or whatever
