It looked like lots of riders blowing up and losing draft in the pack, I had at least 5 occasions that happened I had like you Carl, so had to blast by them to catch the pack

It's a case of concentrating and spotting it happen ... i was 'slack' so missed it a few times, but once I started concentrating I dealt with it better. Bloody annoying though that the 'sticky' draft holds you to a wheel even when you're going faster then them and they are losing the wheel in front.

Report scorecard for Whorty .... "could do better"

I managed to stay in a group, we passed a load of riders on the the last lap.

Aye I found that too, was riding steadily about 550th for the first 3 laps then all of a sudden ended up nearer 500th at the end.

Lee got a great time, I'm pleased to be just over a minute behind him

Mad rush to try and get on for 7pm - I did get as far as the start line but I really wasn't ready properly so I bailed. Against my better judgement I will try for 9pm just so I don't have to fit it in at the weekend. Not ideal but here goes...

Gutted! Strava and the league table at the end of the ride had 59:55, while ZwiftPower shows 1:00:03... I guess it includes the coasting time after the finish line as it's part of the .fit file?

Not sure why, but all the Tour De Zwift times seem to be a few seconds more on Zwiftpower compared to the finish time on screen in zwift. I wonder if it's something to do with the large numbers of riders at the start messing with the on screen timings slightly, but being corrected by ZP - I don't really know though. I can understand why you feel gutted being bumped 3 seconds over the hour mark though!

Be happy with 8 seconds, I got 17 in stage 9 and nearly 30 in stage 8.

i tried getting on the start line early just to see if that made any difference but even after 20 mins on start line i still had seconds added

Looking at the results, we are all pretty strong riders, coming well up the leaderboard in all races. Someone once said to me if you come in the top 50%, youre better than most. Im around 25-35% overall so very pleased, and more so if I ignore these faster, younger lightweights by filtering

Ignoring Lee, hes just bloody annoying old skinny goat
