Bonkers. So THAT's why you were saving yourself in Bologna

Have you forgotten that you're supposed to be an old git with crap recovery?

Well done. Sounds like a great race in Innsbruck

The evening race was on my mind when you were up the road in the downhill and I was deciding wether to chase or not . I am trying to train my way out of lack of recovery but can't do anything about the old git bit 🤣. Our captain picked Innsbruck because he wasn't riding 😂 but selection proved perfect as our team had the top 3 ( teams of 4) 1 minute power which is perfect for the snapper

I've got about 12 million drops.

I won't do the upgrades to the P74. Take far too long. I like the Tron bike, and when Carl posted you could upgrade it too, I prefer to use that instead of anything else.

It's not like the marginal difference between each bike is going to win me any races any time soon.

OK so 10 will buy you the P74 and 2 can go towards the Tron upgrades (or the bikes you will need to upgrade to be able to start upgrading the Tron ). Obvs you will earn more as you do the km for the upgrade. And it will take a long time. We might all have aero socks by then too

Performance by Upgrade Stage​

Like all frames in Zwift, the Concept Z1 can be upgraded in five stages, with each upgrade resulting in a performance improvement. The Concept Z1’s upgrade stages are as follows:

1. Ride 550km, pay 400,000 Drops for an aero upgrade
2. Ride 1050km, pay 800,000 Drops for a weight reduction
3. Ride 1600km, pay 1,200,000 Drops for a drivetrain efficiency improvement
4. Ride 2150km, pay 2,600,000 Drops for an aero upgrade
5. Ride 2650km, pay 5,000,000 Drops for a weight reduction

I've decided im going to swap to Tron upgrade path instead.

See you on a crappy Zwift bike 🤣

I think Zwift has missed a trick with the "drop economy". There should be prize money and entry fees etc. for events.

I'm just glad they haven't added the option to buy drops for actual money yet

Slippery slope that. Pretty sure they made a declaration somewhere about never allowing paid upgrades.

But then we get race mode and Zwift Plays with steering, virtual gears etc.

Cycling has always been pay to help you win, but I also would draw the line at actual cash for virtual tokens.
I don't mind buying hardware. I like steering and think it's fun. I was trying so hard to push @13 rider out of the draft yesterday, but it really doesn't work all that well I demand a refund.

It didn't work because I was doing it to you at the same time 😂
