Same weight, same watt, different time? (New firmware issue?)

[borchgrevink]

I weigh 79 kg. Look at the pic to compare last week´s ride and today's ride. The watt is almost identical, the weight is identical. The only difference I can think of is the upgrade to the firmware.

Could this explain the discrepancy?



I also did Alpe d'Huez on the new firmware, but that ride IMPROVED my best time, not many minutes behind like today. My theory is that Alpe d'Huez is a lot more straight up, while today's ride was a bit flatter in some parts and that the new firmware calculates this different.

Not sure if its easier or harder, but compared to mine you're getting away pretty well. I'm 82kg and produced 325 watts, 3.9 w/kg and finished over 10 minutes behind your time!

My previous best back in April time was less than a minute slower and I produced 315 watts on that occasion. I thought the difference would be greater

Hmm, on Alpe or today's route?

Oh sorry, I thought you were talking about alpe d'huez. Didn't realise the screen shot was a different route!

Serious?

Yep, it can get quite windy on the Alp.

Well, this wasn't Alpe and I thought about virtual weather being used in calculations
