E-Cheat

[shaper]

The "Tron" or Z1 Concept bike on Zwift is earned by riding and climbing vertical meters.

One has to climb 50 000m to unlock the bike.

 

This dude had a program do the distance so he can have the bike available for his races.

 

The bike is the "fastest" bike in terms of weight, and aerodynamics (based on algorithms in the game which relates to bike speed from rider effort.

 

So, like micro dosing, he gained advantage through cheating.

 

Cheating, yes, because I am 7000m away from unlocking the concept bike. Sure, I could have manipulated my weight to get there faster, but then I would only have cheated myself. 

From what I understand, all that you say is true... but in the final, it seems you could have chosen any bike and the Tron bike was available to all.... so he did not need to cheat in the run up to the race.

 

Whether he used it to cheat in a series of races to get to the final I do not know.?

Yep, IIRC he used it in the qualifying events....

I honestly don't understand

Me neither.... that is what he was achieving.

2000W by any unknown rider for a few seconds is unbelievable, never mind by some unheard of online hero for 200 km. If you are going to cheat at least do it realistically.

 

I’ve once suspected someone cheating in online races, but at least he did not rip the arse out of it and his output was still believable
