Here's the video of our winning effort - yes we were trying to stay in a neat line....no we didn't do a great job of that! But it may look messy but it was also fast apparently so who cares! Your chance to re-live it if the trauma isn't still too raw @Rich A @<Tommy> y> @mjd1988 @Girafitti @IrishAl

That's mighty impressive there guys. big power Paul

What also intrigues me, how little power to maintain such a fast pace

It looks great, lots of real time data. I am on IOS for the time being though so other CC Guinea pigs needed.

@alex_cycles will be all over it, I'm sure

Smashing work, chaps!

Bloody hate TTs ..... was dying from about 10 minutes in and just hanging on until we hit the climb

That is the benefit of short turns and a line (at least attempted!) rather than longer turns and/or a blob.

I had a look. It's PC or Mac only. I use an iPad for Zwift so it's not for me at the moment. When I get my next computer it might be specced up enough to be able to use Zwift

You dont need a lot of money to spec a good Zwift pc-£2-300 is enough.

Yeah but since it works perfectly well on my iPad with an HDMI dongle for the big screen, I don't NEED one at all. When I replace my current Macbook in a year or two, or if it dies, now that's a different story

You do need one. Look at all the data you're missing out on

Shut up and take my money

Really satisfying result last night I think. Really consistent the whole way. I think that’s the best TTT I’ve ever been involved in so just wanted to say well done and thanks lads!

Tough luck for rich and Alan both having mechanicals of sorts. We would of been even quicker with them until the end. But having them to the point we did allowed us to have more energy for the second half.

And then to find out we’d won was very satisfying really. Holding off teams of 6 when you are 4 is very tough as we al know and it means you have to have four guys who can stick together. So yeah… just very good all around 👍👍

Yeah, and I thought that TTT we did in the DIRT series was hard @<Tommy> but we both did higher watts last night - identical watts and normalised power for me and you actually! (higher w/kg for you obviously because you're so skinny and light )

And I definitely felt it when we'd finished too

Anyone tried Zrace.bike predictor? (Saw an article about it on ZI).

I've been looking at it last couple of days and, judging on past races it's pretty good at picking the top 5 from a list of riders.
But this morning is the first time I've looked before a race. Here's what it had about 1.5 hours before the race (so would have missed any last-minute signups)...

Looking on ZP after the race, lookie here...

Probably a fluke to get the exact position, but it is very good at picking the top 5 riders.

I find it annoyingly good. I tend to look after the fact when I've had a (to my mind) surprisingly good result but then it tells me I should have finished one place better

Even for the TTT - which they assume is a norm race they predicted 1st and 3rd right 😍
