Only the top 3 count ,you also score individual points if you place in the top 30

If you look at the individual standings on the link I posted it shows me and Carl with 6. Points in 42 place

Dear ZwiftPower, When can I have my downgrade please???
I’ll not bore you with all of the details from the Cat A race, mainly because i don’t have a clue what happened at the business end! I lasted about 5km this week, and improvement on last week. Unreal how strong these riders are - I was back in 80th place and unable to move up the group despite hammering it flat out. I could see the whole thing was strung out and my elastic snapped and slapped me in the face. Lack of a warm up didn’t help but I’ll. or use that as an excuse as I know myself it won’t wash. Anyway a more respectable time of 35:26 this week. I’m not sure if I can take another bashing at the hand of these Scandinavians next week

Well done guys! I Really enjoyed just reading all the write ups. Sounds like it was a great buzz. Are you guys using WhatsApp or discord? Have you thought about it?

Discord. Brilliant idea.

Well done tonight chaps - looks like there were some great performances

Shame I couldn’t make it past the start line and try and get some more points on the board for the B team. If I was ever going to have a good shot I think tonight’s course would have been it.

Had a look at the live feed from the A race but it was a bit stuttery. From what I saw it was totally ferocious so hanging on for 5 mins wasn’t too shabby @IrishAl

Results for tonight say that we scored point down to our 5th finisher.

Michael 27
Me 18
Brendan 17
Andy 7
Carl 6

Aw yes I must have got upgraded for the sprint at 2.3km to 5th as well. Knowing what was happening ahead on the course was so useful in retrospect. The main climb was exactly 10km in as said so I knew when to drift to the front of the group so I just about clung on when otherwise I might have shot out the back.

Edit; now that the full zwiftpower analysis is up, my 20min power was actually only 0.2w/kg different to the first stage and I didn't freewheel at all downhill at any point so I feel a bit better that the trainer wasn't going completely bananas. Will eventually upgrade to direct drive though

I use these

I used to have some without the hook but they would fall out on occasion. The last time they did that I didn't catch them and the ended up wrapped around the chainset :-)

What points did group B's get? None?

 

[Brusgaard]

What points did group B's get? None?

3 points in the Team Standings for finishing (and 1 point for each individual of course). No rider (in any cat) has been awarded for just finishing yet. Will probably be fixed tomorrow....

 

[bridgy]

25 of the top 35 in Cat B had average watts of 4w/kg or more according to ZP results

I use these boys...make sure if using Discord that you enable the push-to-talk setting - nothing Worse than listening to grown men panting in your ear lol

 

[Milzy]

Will discord only send your voice as you speak near mic automatically so your background noise doesn't come through? I don't want to be pushing buttons while racing.

Im glad I didn't bail last night, if points are awarded down to fifth, Chris would have mopped up my points though
