46.06 for stage 4 @peterob please
Not very nice with no where to hide ☹
That's a really good time considering the smaller number of riders in the re-run - I bet you flew up those climbs though!

Have you try to adjust b-tension screw a bit?. That might help a bit before you need to change the chain or a cassette.
I lowered the jockeys with the B screw by quite a long way. It has cured the problem. I don't understand how it came to this, never had that happen before. How queer.

@Whorty @peterob - I just completed stage three in... 1h 22m 23s so unless there’s a real twist in Cat C you’re a worthy winner of the league.

Congratulations on a great performance all through the tour :bravo::cheers:
Difficult stage for you to do as a catch up with less riders around. Well done for giving it a go :okay: Don't see your time yet on ZP ... it really is struggling to process the data for all these rides :tongue:

Suppose I'll have a target on my back for the next league 🎯

Over time indoor training can cause problems for drivetrain, noticed that in short period of time. I check regularly derailleur hanger as well, it might bend or screws get loose and cause poor shifting, especially it's a risk if you ride often out of the saddle. I have need to align hanger few times. I have also noticed that i use indoor more torque and bigger gears than outdoors, which cause faster stretching of chain.

There were 111 participants apparently. I think I finished 23rd according to Zwift.

Can I request one of your graphic comparisons of our efforts? I suspect I might have been faster than you on the first 50% of the stage and then slower on the second 50%

I tried to take it relatively easy on the way to the big climb at the start and hit that hard but try and descend with a group. Managed that really well with a big group of approx 20 on the flat upto the climb then a group of 4 for the descent. Unfortunately I lost my group on the second smaller climb and then found the last 25% of the ride very lonely on the flat.

Got my tactics wrong basically!

I think these catch up days are compromised for the first rides. There is less help of pace but on the other hand less of sticky draft as well. I think moderate or amateur rider like me can't loose much time with these catch up days if i do re-run.

I can't do the comparison as your Strava rides are locked - I can only see stage 6 ride, nothing else.

I can see your ride on ZP now ... impressive 5 min and 20 min w/kg numbers but overall your w/kg for the whole ride was low. Looks like you may have gone too hard at one point? If you open the Strava ride to public I'll pull up the graph :okay:

That’s odd - my default is private but I switched this ride to “everyone” in the app yesterday: https://strava.app.link/IPLsGc5eZ3

You’re right - had a good start up and over the first climb but blew up on the flat after the second climb. Was only pushing 2.0-2.5 on the last 10km of flat!
