Very interesting. Haven't had a chance to listen to the interview yet, but have read the article on ZwiftInsider and I'm cautiously optimistic.
I've been one of the people on the Zwift official forums who has been very sceptical of the "ghost" idea that Eric Min trailed earlier in the year (while virtually everyone else on there was "ooh how wonderful, this is just perfect"), because I basically believed it wouldn't actually fix the problem, it was just a technical wheeze that looked good on paper; but this idea has a bit more merit.
Especially the warning that you get when trying to join the wrong category - doesn't stop you from joining, but it will make you think twice. Then knowing that you're going to get slowed down to the same speed as a fat knacker like me, well that might just convince you!
Can't wait to see it rolled out across the platform though. Today's "D" race - Zwift says I finished 30th. ZwiftPower has me winning it. Laughable really.
I saw he did a video article on participating in a hill climb season. Eventually he won an event and massively increased his FTP Lots of background training before he ventured into the season
Similar to me last night in C .... 32 (or there abouts) on the road out of a 100 or so. 9th on ZP, but a few of those should be DQ'd. I'm happy coming 32nd so long as the 31 that beat me are in the same cat or it's an open race, no cats

And now I'm apparently 3rd. Two guys ahead of me who were DQ'd have been reinstated, even though I think their 95% of 20 min power is still over the limit (to be fair, mine was pretty damn close).
Cool ... now, if you could get the other 7 guys in front of me kicked out too, that would be swell

One subtle change that I think could really help to avoid any accidental sandbaggers is to automatically enter you in an appropriate category for an event. If you try to over ride the default you will see the warning.
If it is really true that a lot of the issue is accidental then this will have a double benefit for Zwift because their new and/or idiot subscribers won’t be annoying those who have entered the correct category, and the new and/or idiot rider will get a better and more competitive racing experience

well that worked out pretty well for a first attempt I thought. Some teething problems with a couple of headsets by the sounds of it. And according to the missus I was speaking a lot louder than I realised!
But all in all I had a real good laugh thanks chaps 👍

I enjoyed that too. My boys laughed at me for talking to you guys . At least I was able to point out that, unlike them when on the Xbox, I never swore once👍😁
