I have completed this Andy. Added a few extra comments too. Mostly common sense, although once some drivers get behind the steering wheel common sense seems to vanish! Be interesting how this is implemented in practice and how the 'hierarchy' really plays out when there is an accident or if it's just words.
No - not seen that - must look it upDid you see that video a few years back? Teenagers were given an old dial phone to use and asked to make a phone call. It was amusing to see
My nieces and nephew look at me weirdly when I say I don't understand tech. I build PC's for the family so I'm not a luddite (most of the time)
I'm more of an applications guy at work and have teams that build the hardware for me. Back in the day I'd build PCs (I'm talking the 286, 386, 486, Pentiums
) but with the world of virtualisation I let the clever young guys do their stuff. I know enough to be able to spot if they're trying to pull a fast one (usually a vendor!) but not enough knowledge to do it myself. The world certainly has moved on since my first job in IT !Yep - looks like you're signed up as CC
I'm totally not up to speed with the format of these races - are there intermediate sprint points that people will be going for?Yep - looks like you're signed up as CC
A good turnout tonight in B Cat. Once @IrishAl goes across there will be 6 Ccers in B out of 12 currently signed up on ZP. On a flat course like this with just the short fast KoM could be a win tonight
Only 3 of us in C cat. The strong Irish guys are there in force so I'm going to have to surf their wheels and see if I can nick a few points off them
Usually, yes. Tonight there is some confusion though because apparently Zwift haven’t set the course up properly for primes yet. I don’t think we have anything certain on it from IRL?
Normally yes. The official 'primes' (so sprints and KoMs) get you extra points so you could feasibly take the sprints and KoMs then roll in 10th and still position 1st. Zwift haven't quite sorted out France yet so whilst we will ride through 2 sprints and 1 KoM tonight only the KoM will gain points (that is unless Zwift fix France before the race tonight but that's not likely).
The official line currently is only the KoM prime is counting (Zwift haven't sorted the sprints out yet). Could be easy pickings for you
I'm hoping to grab a few points but there are some strong C guys so will be a challenge - I'm hoping the KoM in C splits the group and I can get in the break away.I'm happy to try and do a job for the team or for someone who's in contention for a series win or whatever. Having said that, planning to do something in advance, and actually managing to do it in the race itself is often a very different matter!
