If you join someone else's live session during the warm up, it only counts down all the way if the session owner keeps pedalling right to the end.
As soon as it recognises that the person who started the session has stopped pedalling it switches to a 10 second count down, in the same way it would if you stopped in your own warm up.
This is even if other riders are still pedalling. You have to stop pedalling within the 10 second count down, which is a challenge as it takes some time for the system to detect that you have stopped pedalling. My KICKR used to take up to 30 seconds to spin down to a halt, which is hopeless if the session owner stops the countdown unexpectedly.

That all makes sense Geoff. Gives the person who started the session a tremendous amount of power and a potential head start. Perhaps there should be a Bkool etiquette or protocol we should all be encouraged to follow with time penalties or perhaps an animated Bkool 3d spectator who steps out and throws urine over transgressors?

And to echo what Bill and Rick have said, I try much harder on the turbo using Bkool than I ever would on the road.
