E-Sports cheating

[Milzy]

Well then, Ridiculous & disappointing this if you ask me, read it all!
Especially HOW he did it! Running a simulator to gain the Tron bike, mental for such a minor advantage, he probably didn't even need.
I still feel guilty about pranking around on my last ever 7pm meet. I don’t know how they can sleep at night.

I just read that. People will cheat at anything.

What pre ride data did he manipulate and how did that change virtual equipment in Zwift?

I think he used automation to “ride” for him which unlocked better equipment that he could use in the race.

What pre ride data did he manipulate and how did that change virtual equipment in Zwift?

I can’t pretend to understand any of this but it says.

data indicating that on multiple occasions he had ridden for over 200 kilometres, at 2000 watts with a weight of 45kg.

Which seems quite unlikely. But it earned him better equipment.

Holy Trump, is that's considered a "sport" then bogey flicking, arse scratching and farting should be Olympic events in comparison.

 

[Globalti]

It's a shambles

It wouldn't of taken long for a top cyclist to achieve the Tron bike. I know a few who got it in a couple of months,. Took me best part of a year, but then I began riding regularly over 3000ft per ride. It soon ticked down

I’ve followed him on Instagram & the Chris Pritchard cycling hub show for the last year. I even bought my Carnac race lid partly because he used them at one point. The next Cycling hub vlogs will be interesting.

So basically, what we have here is a case of electronic doping. I don't see it as any different from Armstrong & co dosing themselves up with EPO then "beating" clean riders as a result. A cheat is a cheat, no matter what method was used to gain an unfair advantage. I wonder if his real life cycling club will throw him out for his virtual cheating?

 

[Dogtrousers]

Ah yes, the old "unlock the tron bike with the ANT+ sensor" dodge. It's the oldest trick in the book. Nods sagely.

Do what to the what with what was that?

If you put your weight in artificially low your power to weight data gives your a better ratio meaning your go faster

That’s true, but not what happened in this case.

There has been no allegation of cheating during the race - only before it (to unlock faster equipment for use within the race).

I feel sorry for Cam. It wasn't even a rule when he unlocked the concept z1 & others raced on it too. The uci shouldn't be involved. It's such bad press for British cycling.
