Fair point - the top 3 in Cat C weighed 100kg, 94kg, and 92kg respectively
Hmmm that Cat C winner - apparently 100kg but only 5 foot 9. That would be basically my height (give or take 2cm) but carrying an extra 22 kilos of weight 🤔

Really? Doesn't look like a body builder to me - looks quite slim too

Suspicious pattern of winning c races then having the odd 2.7/2.8w/kg race in the middle.

Mind you not sure if someone would weight dope the other way on zwift? Can't be effective unless the course is downhill or thereabouts surely

His pulse is lower in those with lower wkg, and he finished in the top spots anyway. No need to waste energy if already in the top spots or way behind the next rider. I don’t think it looks that odd.

Yesterday was a shortish flat route, meaning us heavier riders could keep the speed and pulse a bit more consistent. Avg. wkg was higher than normal across the board, I think.

Could have sworn last night he had body builder details in his profile :wacko: I definitely saw it somewhere, but maybe a different rider. Can't find the profile now. I'll have another mooch when I've finished work.

Yeah, looking at his profile, he doesn't look 100 kg

His profile looks normal to me, 182cm, its his age which gives him a boost. He was cruising mostly 20bpm below peak

Actually Paul, you were cruising mostly looking at your usual numbers lower Watts and 19bpm below peak
