Yeah for us we can try but it’s just a blind guess. It would be nice (for me at least) to see some statistical analysis. You can get rid of lots of the variables if you applied a bit of science.
Anyways....
Good luck tonight team (Green) Cyclechat!!!
If all else fails, hang on for dear life for as long as possible!!!
Grrrrr that was annoyong.
I was all ready on the start line warming up when with just 30 secs to go I noticed that I wasn't showing any watts. All my Ant+ sensors weren't responding and no amount of fiddling/re-pairing got them going again
They're working now again after a reboot.
I was looking forward to tonights course too.

I didn't want to make pre race excuses for fear of the excuse police but I really wasn't feeling it tonight - too much hard running and gym last night meant my legs were in pieces. Thought I would give it a go anyway - but that was painful! Well done all

I can't wait until we are all racing on veloton next year with more complex simulation physics, and weather. Don't forget steering either. It's funny how many zwifters want the most realistic experience ever apart from steering around riders.
I wasn't feeling it either. Did Mount Teide in a silly gear for nearly 4 hours at the weekend. Tired legs & knackered knee. Sadly dropped from a decent group and picked up a mini group to limp to the end.

Phew. Not sure what to make of that.
Legs felt amazing, and course purpose built for me, nearly took the opening sprint and was able to anticipate all the bumps thanks to the pre race report @Brusgaard posted. Got a bit lucky with the final sprint as I went too early but got in a perfect draft with a rider in front.
First time in ages I've calibrated the trainer and first good long warm up in ages, as well as a flat course...although I do take all that with a pinch of salt in case that was some fairy dust from the kickr snap. FTP increased by 6 watts, near at the level I peaked at last year on the wattbike, and just a little bit suspiciously high compared to recent outings. I think I'll go to the gym and do a another check on the wattbike to make sure I'm not inadvertently making things easy on myself.
Still, earned a guiness and a pancake I'm either case

I guess most IRL races are several hours long whereas in Zwift every race is like a crit plus all riders are fresh so every breakaway attempt gets chased down. In double draft that makes it even more geared towards the blob being able to catch easier.

Sorry about the finish Andy .... completely misjudged thatWay to go the Cs.
Michael 6th.
good showing overall. a bit disappointed I didn't anticipate the slope and got separated by the line out. I should have been nearer to the front. hey-ho
27th for me.
I was expecting us to finish at the sprint arch for some reason!Well done @mjd1988 - superb riding. And Del and Brendan too
Really enjoyed riding as a team tonight.I was on the edge when I dropped - I spotted the lead group was 35 so even me dropping we still had 3 in the group to score. I was thankful of that
Waited for Andy's group, latched on to the end. Shame I can't read the route beforehand
