No I didn't know that.
I'm not talking about just a lag though which generally I don't notice. There was a massive lag with the Bkool which made it really hard to draft, and one of the first things I noticed with the Neo was how responsive it was to changes in power which really helped with drafting. What I was talking about earlier was an initial, temporary drop in power as you stand up and increase power to push a higher gear or against increased resistance on an incline. If the Neo averages power over 3 seconds the effect I'm seeing should be reduced not exaggerated (if it's real and not just a glitch), which makes it even more surprising.

SighTry spinning at a higher cadence?
@bridgy what's the protocol tonight? Roll to the start line and race from there, or let people do their thing and escape from the bell? The Strava segment is obviously from the Start/Finish line so it doesn't make that much difference at the end of the day I guess.
My best time on this course, which was a couple of years ago and on the Pro (although can't recall if it was a race or not) was 1:42 so it's going to be a long hard slog tonight. Target is to get within 1:40 tonight.

Ok chaps. Court is officially open for the week. Let’s start hearing those excuses!
Shall we just say to all go for it from the moment the clock gets to zero and we can move? The riding together to the line thing was initially because we weren't quite sure how everything would work but I don't think it really needs to be done and might make things simpler if we all just start racing straight away?
I have to nip out to the shops later. Will be popping into Iceland for the very first time in my life. This could cause me PTSD ......Ok chaps. Court is officially open for the week. Let’s start hearing those excuses!
HID has been quite ill recently and needs to be carried about a bit. Back and hips are shot. Can hardly move at the moment. I'll push on through tonight but, you know, worth mentioning anyway.
I think that makes sense now. Trying to get everyone to stay together is like herding cats anyway
Can't see many wanting to blast away anyway tonight as there are 4 climbs to ascent before the night is through 
You racing with us tonight @berty bassett as you're not confirmed yet? This course is made for you so you'll have to have a pretty good excuse on the @TurboTommy grading scale .....
Haha! Have you never raced on Zwift before?! Blasting away from the start is the one guaranteed feature of every Zwift race, irrespective of the terrain to come!I think that makes sense now. Trying to get everyone to stay together is like herding cats anyway
Not me tonight. Let the hares go off fast, this tortoise will be starting controlled and steady. With Box, Fox, Leith and Keith it's not a ride you want to go into the red early.
I’ll step up first.Ok chaps. Court is officially open for the week. Let’s start hearing those excuses!
I’m going drinking with a bunch of retired telecoms engineers in Wetherspoons at 12.30.
This will also involve eating ‘food’ in Wetherspoons.
Here’s where my excuse may fail. Due to the company, beer, food and location I’ve decided not to enter this week’s race.
Would my excuse get a higher rating if I entered?
You've been invited - you need to accept....I’m up for tonight, don’t forget the invite.
