No draft except off Lars who i could see. Couldn't see Steen or Stevers. So Steen could see Lars and me but not Stevers. Stevers could see me and Lars. No one could see Stevers. I figure that gives Stevers at least a 0.5 second advantage. So does that mean i was technically second?

Just confirms my thoughts that racing sucks on Rouvy. The constant hiding/unhiding of riders and braking randomly, sometimes saying braking, other times not. If they choose to cancel my €4.99 BKOOL sub at some point, I most likely will rather use other platforms without these issues.

Somewhat new to this, but I enjoy the racing here against videos of real places, rather than the fake world of Zwift. Mostly Rouvy works, if it doesn't then I still get a ride towards my weekly target of 60 miles and 3000'. Unless I commit to a full TT effort, I go harder in a race than on my own, and that has to be good, since what doesn't kill me will make me stronger!

I'm with you @Stevers - I like the real roads and our races are the hardest effort I do all week. Hopefully Thursday was an anomaly (the Easter theme was bizarre too). Rouvy's mostly fine though I find the group rides with >100 where there's the elastic band effect a bit strange but the races are ok. I've tried Zwift a couple of times but its Mario Kart gaminess doesn't do it for me but I get why lots of folk like the social side. It did occur to me that Rouvy was maybe experimenting with some new Zwift-like feature on Thursday.

Good chance that sticking bunnies all over the show mullered something
I also enjoy seeing real world videos much more than dinosaurs and glass roads , it’s still in its early years and is getting better all the time - except Thurs - that didnt work

Ghostrider! My drafting factor in Rouvy was 21.5% - that has to be worth a lot more than 0.5s. A nice enough route for a rematch?

Mine was 6.8%. It would be interesting to see how Rouvy behaves on the re-run tonight - which I can't make (the rugby) - but that course, minus the easter nonsense, would be good.

Perhaps when Randy wakes up he could see how everyone feels about a rematch on Sunday evening (to avoid the rugby). I'd be up for that!

I will be there for the re-run park run was cancelled due to ice cancelled last week due to flooding 😤

Likewise. Forecast up here is for no outdoor cycling tomorrow.
