Team BKool CycleChat

[AAAC 76C]

Pep has recruited fran303 into the Spanish team who has done some strong rides for and is an Elite10 at 53kg and rides a Classic so don't be surprised to see him motor past you at the start of a climb..

Had a look again.
He has been riding an Air but has use his Pro in the WC
I have found one ride on an Air but no HR so it's hard to judge.
There are some BKool like power over-swings in climb transitions but me thinks that is more the way BSim works rather than the trainer.

EDIT: The max elevation is 60m and min about 10 so these are no mountains that are being climbed here.

It’s a good sign they’re at a point where they’re testing the air unit though. I’m still living in hope that introducing it will address some of the other problems. Maybe that means ultimately that the pro unit becomes obsolete which would be costly for you guys, but will benefit everyone in the long term.

They’re using motors now too?!

That Session only produce 3.5 w/kg for him so I definitely don't want one otherwise I'll be riding behind @theboxers , no offence intended Sir.

This is VR cycling so technology should be at the forefront.
Shame we lost our time machines we used to have once.

Ok, well if one of our top performing CC riders suggests let it lie then perhaps we should call back our North London Rottweiler, TT.

Just being honest!

Understood AAAC.

FWIW if I was competing in the Nations or similar I would be all over the organisers and bkool to try and bring greater integrity to the results. Not because I would expect to be near the top. That is irrelevant to the issue. Just because, as Lee I think said, some of the results are clearly so anomalous they should trigger a check and verification from bkool. But that’s just me and my sense of right and wrong and my overly competitive nature. Learning that Pep now has a mate competing who may well exploit an even greater advantage would just leave me incensed.
Out of interest, are there any ground rules for the Nations Cup?

So if, like in my daydreams, I were to lead team USA to a win you would be suspicious?

Last year I think it was latest Trainer FW and no ERG and that was about it.
There were certainly no hydration (Bridgy), dodgy climbing finish watts (TT) or performing under par (Bill) rules.
There was a rule to have fun and enjoy the event and I think all of us Cycle-chatters stuck wholeheartedly to that rule 100%.

That would be no surprise for an American athlete (thrust, twist and remove).
