Or the outlier talent on Zwift in SA during covid that never crossed over outdoors once the racing started. So odd that one to me......

It is higher it's not that above.

It's a shame to see this, I was fortunate enough to work really closely with Stages in 2019 and 2020 from their development and so forth in the USA. Great company of people and the 1 CEO who I worked super close with had a really bad accident and stepped away from the day to day to day for obvious reasons. we always kept in contact over the years. Sad to see.

Not specifically, some riders like specific feedback from a bike, front end etc. some riders are more sensitive than others. Perfect example here in Basque post stage was feedback on a certain set of tyres used and rider has asked for a small change cause he wasn’t happy and confident on the feedback the bike gave him in a certain environment on the road due to the tyres. for me and you it makes no difference, go up a level or 15 it does. you are more than knowledgeable to know this!! Matt likes his bike set up specifically and wants that feeling in a race. He was the same when he raced motocross and his then bike set ups.

When to take the medal off from around your neck once you back home 4 months after the event

Cape Epic or any race / ride doesnt define if you a real Mountainbiker, road or gravel rider etc. You need psychological help if this is your thought pattern or belief.
