Checking out my ride,
I was out sprinted yesterday by a rider who was subsequently DQ'd,but he peaked at over 14Watts/kg, to my paltry 9.9W/kg
No need to worry his peak power if he was disqualified, maybe his peak power was false as well.
I always suspect riders who hide their profile and don't register on ZP. I had time yesterday to spot 3 wringers in my race, so when they gapped us all on the first climb, I didn't bother to try and go with them.
Why ride in a category where you are either easily too good or are cheating so much that its no longer a worthwhile race
. I like the close competition, for the podium or 20th position

Exactly, maybe some riders are too stupid to understand that they can get caught for cheating or something like that. It's good that official monitoring will work pretty well I guess.

I try to get on the 3R races when I can because then the wringers are of no importance as all cats race together. I ended up in a small group yesterday with another B and a few Cs, plus a 'D'. The 'D' was easily a B, but at least he couldn't influence the race for other D's.
Had I been in C yesterday, which I'm fast falling back into, I'd have come 2nd in ZP
They're not quite all together, they start together, but from different pens. Yesterday the pens were just far enough apart that I didn't sprint for long enough to catch B cats. Next time

Exactly that. I still remember my first races in C - when I was fighting to be 5th from the back and not 4th

Amazing what kind of miracles couple rest days and proper hydration did before my sunday’s ride. Don’t remember when was a last time when my legs felt light as they did.

Ah, that is true, but that's why the 3R races are such manic starts as the Cs try to latch onto Bs, and the Bs try to catch the As. At the moment, I'm waiting for the Cs

Guys who’s up for the WRTL in September? I’ve not raced much the last few weeks / months so I’ve dropped back into B (
). I think maybe some people are being promoted to B and some are going the other way.
I wasn’t personally overly enamoured with the point scoring system last season. But it’s good fun and a good workout so I’m happy to carry on.
Or alternatively we look for another league?

Definitely was planning to carry on with the ZRL, I've enjoyed it a lot. Will be a C by the time it kicks off.Guys who’s up for the WRTL in September? I’ve not raced much the last few weeks / months so I’ve dropped back into B (

I'm happy to go for the ZRL again in September Tommy. I know what you mean about the format but it's great to race with my mates on here. Should be easier for me to make the races this time round too. I think @Rich A is up for it too...

I'm up for it! I prefer the DIRT racing system/scoring but much lower numbers enter than wtrl and it's always great fun racing with you folks

I am up for it, but will be in C (if fit enough). Happy to be on the rosta for both C and B though just in case my leg is 100% and I get the fitness back (and lose the extra 5kg I seem to have found)
