I have another month's free trial for Trainer-road to give away. Hands up all those with spare time to fit in further pain and suffering?

That's a big amount of time to chop off. Tricky stage as well as there are big climbs and a large downhill/flat section where time can be easily lost. You need to use your ghosts wisely and make sure there are sone where you get a tow on the flat section.i'll be doing stage 6 of the wc, around 7 need to knock off around 15 minutes
I've unfortunately been ill and my cold us still lingering but feel tempted with a stage 9 blast.... what's the worst that can happen
. If I get a fast start and fade mid point then at least I'll have got a ghost to follow next time for part of the ride.
You'll be quicker than that I think Whorty. I'd guess you'll be more like 35/36 minutes so add in some of those ghosts tooWC8 climb for me in a bit. Set a few ghosts around the 40 - 44 minute time .... hope my legs have recovered from yesterday
This happened to myself and Randy yesterday too. We made good speed to the start of the climb, not exactly on Jacobs tail but not far behind, then as soon as we hit the climb we dead stopped and a large group of ghosts behind us didn't dead stop and they shot off up the hill never to be seen again.
I remember back in the day when we had our original pro units, they didn't dead stop and they went uphill much faster. 2 years ago I used to be able to make 330 watts uphill for the best part of an hour on that old unit, but no chance now. Probably that's why I started the mountain goat league.
I think we're at a big disadvantage compared to some of these guys now if they still have old pro units or classics.

I have done the wc9 stage, all pretty straightforward, but managed a dead stop on a 5.2% hill! If anyone wants to use my ghost, just a heads up but went off quite quickly and then slowed down later on around 8.5km mark (I knew I should have taken my asthma inhaler before I started!). This should be a good stage for team cyclechat with all the chaingang and handicap experience.
Good ride Whorty and thank you for the email, WC8 37:42 seconds i believe, beaten by 2 seconds
I watched some of that near the end. You two were back and forward like a yoyo. I think Whorty took you on the final slope.
37.44 in the end. Not bad considering legs were a bit heavy from CG4 yesterday. Puts me about 68 in the GC
Sorry @SteveGood ride Whorty and thank you for the email, WC8 37:42 seconds i believe, beaten by 2 seconds
... i tried to break away from your ghost early on but you pulled me back and i just couldn't break free again. I had to dig very deep at the end to stay ahead of you
