So long as it's not down hill too much. Yesterday's stage was fun when I look back at it. Obviously not at the time it was riding though..

I have redone yesterday's stage on the new release to test out ghosts that have done the route on this release and to try to send an EOS to @Mark68
I can confirm that the ghosts are complete bollocks. They still don't induce the drafting effect, though bkool bots do. I beat Mark by 30 seconds but was over a minute slower than his actual time. My ghost from yesterday was lagging well down the field until the last two kilometers when it suddenly turned into Mark Cavendish and ended up beating mark's ghost by 7seconds. Go figure.
All in all I think the ghosts currently only serve as a random incentive to try to keep with our stay ahead of and we shouldn't put any store by our times against them. Hopefully they'll get it sorted out but nobody should hold their breathe!
I think the ghost function is in all thinkable aspects getting worse. Completely useless. I can’t understand how they manage to not sort that out, i.e ignore one of few functions that make bkool fun. Forget about graphics and street views and all that. One thing I do agree with is that it makes sense ghosts cannot be drafted as it should in theory (had drafting worked well) inspire more to do live rides and award no advantage to people (like me) who often do rides later (apart from cc league of course - thursday evenings are now holy...unless a good GinTonic is on offer, as that would trump holy Thursday pain).
If they sort out ghosts I might consider putting gin in the water bottle so I never have to choose.
