I don't really understand why wattbike can't have it given tacx/Garmin have had it for the neobike for ages. I mean money is probably the answer realistically but still

It's really odd, because for ages Wattbike were the only smartbikes to have the on screen gear display indicator on Zwift, despite loads of bikes being technically able to send that data to Zwift. It's almost like Zwift's engineers have ADHD - they sort something out for one bit of hardware and then move on to their next project without realising that they've still got to roll it out for all bikes.

Well that was better than expected 6th on the road 😁, zwift power currently shows me 13th with a faster time than people ahead of me 😵‍💫. For the 1st time in a big pack race I arrived at the finish in the front group ,now need to find a sprint

@Girafitti took the overall points win (if zwiftpower is to be believed) with me rounding off the podium and @bridgy grabbing some FTS points on the first climb as well, a good first outing. Legs felt terrible outside of segments though! Could attack on the climbs and sprints but the esses were beating me up

That's because is showing ranking as points scoring position not finishing position

Over 60 in the field, that's bigger than I've gotten used to in ZRL of late. Preparing myself for pain it's a pretty brutal course

It was a harder race than the ZRL I got used to. Probably because we were up against similar teams but with some of their B dev riders in as well because they fit into Amethyst. vELO said 24th for me so I tried to beat 20th. Finished 19th but no segment points so got bumped to 20th on points. Quite happy with that after a week out of racing for illness. TTR next week, then I hope to do slightly better in the next points race.

Which is the correct thing to do in a points race. Wish ZRL did it.
I did the ZP setup for DRS, which is why all 12 races were set up on ZP several days ago so people see their results immediately.

I agree I was confused as I had not seen it done that way before
