Zwift Chat

Hmm I have not see anything about neutralised bikes, I wont test it by riding on a MTB. Yes I have seen comments from people complaining they have paid good money for a feature then not allowed to use it in these races. I dont have it so not affected, considering getting it though.

It would be nice if Zwift made it a bit clearer on race descriptions whether steering is on or off for a given race series.

I have no qualms about fairness. There are enough races with steering OFF for people who don't like it.

The Friday Smash will ALWAYS have steering ON. There is no question that it CAN be an advantage when used well, but you can also screw yourself up with it by using badly.

People like to whinge though. For me, one series without steering (DRS) is enough. I want steering in the rest of my races otherwise why did I bother buying it?

Bikes definitely neutralised in the Zwift games rides

Yeah I'd agree - 715 Tuesday for the same reason

@Legs he's same league, right?

I plan to do it tomorrow evening, looks like a fun course. The finish is ever so slightly uphill which may help. They could stick a roundabout somewhere at the end, so there was an option of turning around and doing a second 'lap' in reverse.

Possibly, but I'd miss the first two rounds...
It also clashes with ZRL Finals - had you thought of getting a team of hardy Belgians together for that? (three weeks: 9th/16th/23rd April)

Dare I ride a Buffalo bike in the next race ? surprised I haven't seen anyone do it, it appeals to my sense of humour.

Well I am officially a sprinter now Andy don't you know

Yeah I do think - for once - I timed this one just right! It was only for 29th place unfortunately but to win the sprint from such a large group was quite satisfying!

Do it! (But don't blame me if it goes horribly wrong!)

The ramp isn't that long

It's the downhill just before catches most folk out, you need to be well positioned

If you're at the back of the pack go early, get all the draft boost, it will slingshot through them
