That's not right is it? There's always some wind resistance factored into the algorithm (the Cda for example) surely? Obviously there's not crosswind/headwind/tailwind which can either work for or against you speed-wise on an outdoor ride

Probably better to say Zwift have the scenario of a windless day,

 

[JuhaL]

It's more like air resistance than wind resistance on Zwift. 70% from person, 20% from wheel set and 10% from frame.

Could be Peak Zwift today. Just gone over 40,000

Not bad. Good opportunity to ride in draft a whole day. Despite if you do single ride or a group ride.

You don't need wind for CdA to impact you - your speed does that.

I think what Andy meant was that there's no wind in terms of weather and not that there's no air resistance Would be bllody quick riding in a vacuum

Just done tour de zwift stage 3 ,came 394th out of 1207 ! just one massive long blob to surf in the whole race and that's people on zwift power so more entrants I presume

Except you'd be dead

Yeah you must be right! But wind outside doesn't necessarily slow you down- depends which direction it's blowing.

That said it is virtually always a headwind in reality isn't it

 

[JuhaL]

Here is "little" bit information about Zwift physics. Not for sure is there an answers for all questions.

Only for me.

Well done lads! Can't wait for video by Alex with professional commentary

8.8s between first 4 places is B! Was it so tight in your league too?

Yes it was close, but early observation looks like we lost a few places by 10-15 secs
