A 20-minute power of 214W would put her around the 40th centile of absolute power for female athletes on ZwiftPower.

ZwiftPower percentiles use the Coggan numbers which are NOT representative of ZP users. They're based on track sprinters.
For 5s power the Coggan scale has me as a NOOB.

Although it's mitigated by her light weight to some extent, that's pretty low power, whichever way you slice it.

She sure kicked ass in that race though. Was great fun to race with her.

If they're biased towards short distances, being in the bottom quartile for an endurance effort is even worse, then?

That's good.

You've got some competition this month (assuming she comes back, but I think she will).

Yep, I'm sat waiting for it to start. Spectacular race to watch.

Some of the guys from my local club have gone out to do the sportive. Think it was raining yesterday anyway looking at their Strava rides.

Just finished stage 1 of the zwift games , the new loop de loop course , absolutely no let up but nice course . My 1st mass start cat C race for a while and it's confirmed I'm bang average 67th out of 139 on zwift power . Held the front group bar a few breakaway riders until the kom where it split round myself in group 2 , coming back over the esses as the front group strung out they were just in front 4 secs but we couldn't close the gap as basically we were all gased ,happy with my pacing only 3 secs slower up the KOM 2nd time and 2nd lap less than a minute slower than the manic 1st one

I'm thinking of doing that course tomorrow.

Wow the Strada Bianca- just seen the highlights

Just to make sure she did, with your little bit of baiting competition comment

Really interesting course always up and down , 2 3 mins climbs with a downhill run to the lap banner or finish to get back on,
Only 2 power ups at the start ,lap banner so use them wisely

I like to encourage people to come back
Although she is signed up for some of next week's Chasing Tour so don't know what will happen.

We all love Innsbruckring though❤️

Not when chasing a 52kg rider banging 8W/kg on hills
