Well done all - that was tough. Going well @shimceltic - that was one attack / counter-attack after another. A proper duel.

 

[Barbes66]

Hopefully the leg's on the mend @Brusgaard . I tuned into your last km and you were putting out some good watts.

Good ride gents, too fast for me at the start to draft, going to keep working on getting my comp to play nice with BKool, riding on the map the whole way.

 

[shimceltic]

Yeah I was hoping I'd have a bit left but you had the extra energy at the end. Good work out.

I thought you might be stronger than me on the final 150m where it flattens a bit so I emptied it on the 8% section and just hoped it would be enough.

The Giro is one hairy race, whenever I watch it I'm always stunned by how aggressive the riding gets. Nice selections for the league this month as usual.

 

[Duckman]

Anyone heard from @<Tommy> ? Has he bailed out or been taken hostage by work?

Not much, still can't really push, so I spin to keep at least some momentum. Was in the granny gears (and "Mountain sprocket" in BKOOL) for most of the climb (90+ RPM avg.).

 

[Duckman]

Mountain sprocket - sounds faintly naughty for some reason. @Brusgaard even not at a 100% you gave me a good run up the hill at the end. Wasn't sure I could get up that slope with all the holiday sugars and booze working against me.

I am in discussion with BKOOL support about why I usually don't now see ghosts. There was meant to be 4 in last night's ride. Did anyone see any of them?

Didn't see any yesterday. Not too sure, if ghosts are visible/available in AR video mode (or normal video mode for that matter)? They weren't on the rider list yesterday, so 100% would not be in the video/3D mode.

Two ghosts present in my ride, but no video, just a ribbon road in a fake horizon. Ghosts caught me 3/4 the of the way in, one was fast, one a bit slower. Could have been BKool ghosts as one was named something like Hans Solo.

Yes, Han Solo and Allan was the 2 ghosts. They are in the results for the stage. But none of them on my screen.

 

[Barbes66]

Hans Solo was rapidly catching me in the final but I don't recall seeing Allan. What was strange though is that neither were on the start line IIRC so I assumed Hans was a real rider and joined late.

This has to be one of the most brittle production apps I've ever used. Fix something, break 2 other things. Q/A process is shockingly bad as prod releases always have something amiss.
