I think that was Moscon

Oops, you're right ... another monster engine in their team

I did offer to do this actually but as Michael pointed out you already have a full 12 man squad registered so only someone on that can ride for the team - and I'm not one of them! In fact out of Team #23 only Nick is, and he's not up to it as he's said. It's a shame you can only get 5 people out of the 12 registered to ride

There was me all ready to volunteer. Ah well... it’s the thought that counts right?

I will do it in all seriousness though. If someone wants to give me their log in for the night. Although if I change their weight to mine I guess that’s a bit off. Anyone weigh 76kg who can’t make it tomorrow?

edit: does it really matter if I don’t change the weight in a TTT event? Probably does thinking about it.

Wow, did you see Bernal yesterday

Looks like we are finally going to get new roads

My money is on a 3.5KM Japan inspired link road in Watopia to create four new routes with just 3.5KM of link road lined with bamboo.

TBH the best thing they could do would be to stick some more roads on the foothills of AdZ. Two concentric rings around the peninsula, with link roads between coastal road and upland road, would create loads more possibilities for rides and courses. See my crappy schematic below:

Pretty brave posting that picture before getting the copyright locked in.

TBH I’m not fussed about royalties, fame or protecting my IPR: my reward/compensation for them snaffling my idea would be some great Zwift roads to ride! 😁

And in the highly unlikely circumstance zwift don’t snaffle up your plan immediately . I’m sure you could sell it as the prototype for a board game that helps to explain human fertilisation to children 👍👍

ROFL 🤣

The electrical contracting world's gain was the Stand Up comedian world's loss.

Holy smokes that's a complex map!

Okay, not all of those roads are necessarily ridable - on the French map, some of the dirt trails and side roads that are at 90 degrees to the main route behind crowd barriers appear as proper roads on the map while others don't, so that could be at play here as well - especially in that city/town bit in the centre of the map; most of that is probably for show.

But even if just 80% of those roads are available, that looks like a LOT of riding potential. For one, look at the number of junctions branching off for route choices, plus there are two separate start pens - no worlds have this apart from Watopia I think, so that gives an idea of the scale of things...

 

[Legs]

OTOH, the start pens appear quite large, so the actual lengths of road may not be very extensive. Hopefully there's a good mixture of terrain and plenty of interesting routes that they can make.

Well there will be MTB events at the Olympics so they may want to capitalise on that as well.
