Zwift Races


Furbz

Recommended Posts

So today i competed in my very first Zwift race.

i however do not understand how riders who finished a good 2-5 minutes ahead of me had a much lower w/kg than me?

0.4w/kg less than me - thats a lot in my mind

 

am i missing something?

drafting? - maybe

 

the course was relatively flat so constant power output was the norm.

Well done on completing the race, those things are tough. Remember w/kg is only gonna make a difference on a hilly course. On the flat you can have a big oke pumping out 350W and still only be riding 3.5W/kg and seeing as it is flat that translates into speed. Then of course if they were riding in the bunch and you were alone the drafting effect is massive.
