Zwift Chat

[Norry1]

For those interested: tonight at 9 pm UK time the first Zwift pro race takes place. Cofidis, Hagens Berman Axeon and Israel Cycling Academy are among the teams participating.

Sad man that I am, I just watched it. Great race and surprisingly good viewing.

Just finished in 1:41:59... at least I got negative splits on the 2 climbs (29:20 and 28:40) and a PB and 3rd on the first sprint. Saw @Aleman and @darrensmith0410 go past on the first climb - gravity clearly is not my friend!

Exactly the same time as me! Don't see you on zwiftpower though. Worth linking your zwift account up and joining the cyclechat team on zwift power so we can see each others rides.

Ah, I just checked on Zwiftpower - I was in the 19.00 ride, you must have been in an earlier start? Amazing that the times were dead-on
I've linked on Zwiftpower to the Cyclechat team - I guess it's awaiting approval?

Saw the last 10 minutes or so on Zwifts YouTube channel. What was it 17w/kg at the end

Its only 1100W! Not that high, but pretty high for a lightweight

Negative split, respect you held something back for the second attempt

Just watched the Kiss Super league. Very entertaining and insightful to their power, W/Kg and HR. I thought the Watts weren't massive, but the W/Kg and HR were very impressive. Oh and 5.52 for the Volcano climb-Wow

Yesterdays stage in super league seems to be way too easy those professionals, maybe couple times up to alpe du zwift work better.

Ian Bibby 800W @ 13W/Kg = 61kg

 

[CXRAndy]

I reckon they were trying to get a broad spectrum of racers, one rider weighed 90kg and though he was prominent early with 5W/kg(450W) 10 mins he didn't feature near the end, well not that i saw- could be wrong

Ian Bibby 800W @ 13W/Kg = 61kg

I hit 800 watts once. For a whole second

 

[Aleman]

I hit 800 watts once. For a whole second

Bkool Or Neo ??

 

[JuhaL]

I hit 800 watts once. For a whole second

I hit once over 1000W but that was with Bkool Smart Pro 1. I was enjoy a moment about those numbers when i realize that Bkool was too generous, so that never really happened. I feel as mortal again after that .

Just catching up with this - there were some pretty big names involved. And looking at the Zwiftpower results some pretty big w/kg too - very impressive! Ian Bibby who won it averaged 5.2w/kg for the 50 minutes and there were a few others even higher. Freddy Ovett (son of Steve Ovett) averaged 5.8w/kg and Connor Swift averaged 418 watts overall ( a measly 5.5w/kg!). Puts our measly efforts into context!
