Strategy & tactics. Every bit of that victory was earned by all the hard miles over the last 12 months. Well done Ryan - so chuffed for you 🎉

I watched this video at work, and as you started the last sprint after the bump, my hands were in the air. People were looking at me like I was having a seizure! I almost started crying. Be proud of all your efforts!!!

Caught myself shouting YeS! And fist pumping the air 🤣 so pleased for you Ryan! Class 👏

Yessssssirrrrrr that's how you PLAY THE GAME BABY!

“If my gears didn’t kick back in my laptop my bike would’ve taken a trip out the window”😢😂😂😂

Congrats! 🎉🎉Soon C! Will be waiting for you in low B. Perfect timing on that feather 👌🏻👌🏻

Well-earned victory Ryan - brilliant execution of strategy.and massive iconic fist pumps

Congrats on the journey Ryan, what a hell of a ride ! Strong tactics, stronger legs ! Cheers from France, now on to your first Cat C win 👌

Love that intro! Great plan! Us 95ish KG’s need to use the momentum on those finish line sprints!! I’ll keep watching now

Yeeessssssssss Ryan!!!! 🎉🎉 Well done!!! 🎉🎉 Top effort!! Genuinely thrilled for you! Such a shame for the person who accused you of cheating that the video is up on KZfaq for all to see that they were wrong and you won fair and square!! 🤣 Well done on your first across the banner win, and for all the ones yet to come! 💪

Congratulations! As someone who just had their first zwift race and got dropped hard, your videos are very inspiring.

That’s the stuff of legends big man! Well done and enjoy, you’ve certainly grafted for it. 💪💪💪

Faq me I haven’t been on the edge of my seat that much for a long time !! Nicely prepared and executed !! That hack accusation is golden mate, especially knowing that the whole race has been filmed 😂😂

Aye Yai Yai! One for the Z-Win Column. 🎉 Congrats. Well played indeed.

Take a bow mate. Proud of you for putting all this time and effort into this and achieving your goal. Epic to watch.

So pleased for you Ryan, I was screaming with you at the end! Well deserved victory. Your tactics worked out to perfection 🥇

You should be really proud of yourself! The combination of tactics, strategy and fitness all coming together was perfect. Many congrats!

Your laugh at the end is amazing!!! Pure happiness and suffering!!!!!

Congrats Ryan! What a win - strategy, tactics, and power! Being accused of cheating? Yep, officially a pro Zwifter :)

Dude that incredible!!! You “Hacker” 😂😂😂. I’m in tears for you. That was so well done! And you didn’t edit out the scream!!! Heck ya bro!!!

So happy for you! Let's GOOOO!!!

Congrats buddy! Been following you for that win :) See you in cat C!

Just so fricking cool, mate! You set this as a goal and pushed until you nailed it. It's been brilliant to see. Now you can build on this. It's a confidence boost/confirmation. And it's good experience of knowing how deep you can dig in key moments like the final minute. First of many!

Ha ha Ryan, Well done mate! Excellent work, planning and preparation with some very neat tactics, well deserved with all the hard work you've put in. I was cheering all the way...Well done you, the first of many.

Very hard earned win Ryan! It's been amazing watching your progression and hope you keep progressing. You'll be ripping legs off people in Cat C soon!

Just caught the last half of the race. I could not believe it was the same Ryan. Talking tactics I’d use myself (an I’ve been doing this years) with limited success and only recently the odd win. You nailed Ryan at last. We all knew it was coming. Next target group C. That’s a tough one. I’m in group B. Impossible to get a win. For me anyway. Your content is exiting stuff mate. Zwift anyway. I don’t do running so I find that less exiting although runners probably do.

OH MY GOD I felt every second of that last go at the hill to the finish. Fantastic effort and my toes were curling in my shoes watching just how much watts they were pushing to get to you . Brilliant watch.

Congrats Ryan, been watching since your early vids and you’ve worked hard for it. Keep up the good work with the racing and content.

Congrats Ryan. 👍👌💪 Great race craft! I saw your last result this morning (no spoilers), eagerly awaiting the video for that race.

Congrats, Ryan, well done! I never realized so much tactics and strategy was necessary to get a win.

About bloody time..... will be what your girls are thinking, lol.. Well done Ryan, well deserved

Yes yes yeeeees!!!!! You done it! Get in there. A race winner. Fucking yes. I’ve waited months for this moment. Proper sporting moment. Experience and tactics used to perfection.

I don’t know what I just witnessed….but it was bloody good lad 👏👏👏

Nice one Ryan mate, you did it! Great use of tactics, a huge part of Zwift. You're progressing well, looking forward to racing with you in cat C soon...

This makes me so happy. 😁 I won my first Cat C race on Saturday, followed by another win on Sunday, feels good! BTW with your pure watts, you would be very surprised how well you do in a cat C Crit.

looking forward to this one 👏🏼🤞🏼

I love this series! Keep them going!

I was gripping the chair, then you played a blinder and that was a proper win at that!!! Smashed it!!!!

Yeeeeaaaassssss!!!!….at last. Bloody well done Ryan. Really pleased for you👍🏾

Knew the win wasn't far away! Perfect tactics, great ride, great result!

Absolutely blinding!! A perfect race lad. Congratulations champ! 🏆

You did it! 🎉 I felt that scream, let it out! Well built up, perfectly finished!

Congrats! Gives me motivation to try and win a zwift race

So happy for you Ryan. Well done!!!! Inspiring me to try the same. Never won a race on Zwift but have somehow found myself in B Cat. Don't fancy my chances much but Ill give it a whirl!

Winner winner…. Many congrats Ryan. Well deserved! Was right there with you…

Well done Ryan. That's something I will never do.. Congratulations mate 👏

F-YES, Great race strategy! Congrats!

Good for you Ryan, well done very chuffed for you. See you in Cat C 😁

Great win, you were in control from the start and had a plan and did not get punched in the face, I have watched your videos from the start and have really enjoyed watching your journey, look forward for many to come.

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh!!! Get in mate. The one we’ve all been waiting for.

That was a beautiful thing 🎉, so pleased for you, first of many I hope 🤞 👊👍 oh and a great edit too

Norwegian Watts approves😎

Hot dog man, good work and strategy!! I've never won a zwift race, every time I started getting top 10 finishes I'd get promoted category. Sitting now as a mid pack B racer, looking like I need another .5w/kg to start getting top ten again. But that feeling is amazing, like the first time I finished with my TT team. Good work and please don't retire from zwift 😄

That was pretty awesome, man! Keep giving em hell!

Dude! So much fun to watch. Great work.

Dude, I've been rollowing your vids lately and also bought a Zwift setup. Very first race yesterday, I see your name pop up! I was proud of my numbers but absolutely had no strategy at all lol.

Bravo! (insert Shia Labeouf applause gif) 👏👏👏

Amazing! Top of the board, congrats Ryan. One heck of a ride

Well done Ryan, very well deserved 👊👍

Brilliant !!!! I was shouting at the monitor. " go on son go on" ... I can't believe I was so invested .... oh no wait.. I can because I love the content as ever.... fabulous job. So pleased for you. Smile at the haters .. Idiots 😊

Winner winner 🏅 🏆

YEESSS!!!!! Lets gooo!

Well done! All those Alp Du Zwift climbs gave you the uphill power needed to pull away in the end. Great strategy!

Well done, great race.

Well done mate! Happy for you! These last 3 videos have made me feel like I should sack off my task of completing every route and just race 😂👌🏼

Well done Ryan, drop that imaginary mic! Yes Ryan!!! 🏆💪👍

Awesome job Ryan! Congrats. You are such an inspiration!!!! Never thought of reaching on Zwift before seeing your view, but I too won on Zwift power the. First across the line an got promoted to Cat C as well, all down to you and your inspiration. Thank you so much ! Just love all your updates and vids.

Awesome work mate! Great tactics - what an inspiration 👌💪

Awesome job Ryan so happy for you!!! Now time for a Cat C win 😅😂

Kaboom! 💥💥💥 Ryan, your reaction says it all! Massively pleased for you.

Awsome, well done Ryan! 🎉

well done mate....nice one!

Grats mate. You worked so hard for it and earnt it.

You really built the tension over these last three videos! Finally - bloomin well done Ryan, you worked it to prefection. 💨👊👊

Congrats!!!! Great strategy and execution. Great job!

Awesome Ryan. I'm impressed 🔥

Congrats mate!!! Bloody beautiful. Time for the next category! Keep on smashing it!

Congrats Ryan, absolutely made up for ya 🏅🏅🏅🏅

Amazing mate! The composure and race craft compared to your early days was amazing. Great job. Cat C calling! Got my first win a few weeks ago also (solo break from 15km out up a big old climb - Innsbruck reverse KOM). Was waaay too happy for a 39 year old man on what is essentially a computer game.

What a journey. Well done mate! Winner 🎉

Well done Ryan, I'm happy for you.

Machiavelli on a bike!… What a journey. Congratulations Ryan. This has been absolutely EPIC!

Congratulation Ryan, great job! I have to admit, as I watched this video, I was thinking to myself, none of his race tactics are of a sprinter. They are for an attacker, someone who wants to tire out the sprinters then go long at the end and out last them to the finish. Play to your strength Mr. Attacker! Sure, advice from others is helpful but until you learn what's best for you it's all moot. Glad to see you put in the time to learn what's best for you. Now you have to put in the extra time to level up to get better equipment!

Saw the Chicken Dinner a skipped straight to the ending……Yessssssssssssss!! Get in there mate🙌🏻. Now going to it all 👍🏼

Very well done. Happy for you

love it Mate. “i know i can retire from Zwift in peace “ with hands in the air 🥇🤛🏼 Like a cat with a ball of string Bro u definitely will be back 😂, well played Mr Ryan with some top in race pushing. Funny how the heart rate goes out the window when adrenaline is pumping and the finish line is looming, WooooHoooo Thanks again mate for sharing ur journey and really looking forward to what’s to come. For now just sit back and bask in all that glory 🤙🏼🎉

Nice work Ryan!!! That progress is really showing, now you are bullying people around in the race, love it!!

Bro! You have officially leveled up. You are playing games during the race now? Work on those sprints, and get on a team boy!!!

So well executed ❤

Great job, Cheers!

Boooom!! That's how it's done!! 💥 Well done dude!

Awesome Ryan.

Congrats, well deserved with the progress you've made both physically and tactically. More success should follow. I also once got accused of cheating, and that was not even in a race. People are strange.

That was bloody brilliant! 🥇Congrats Ryan 💪 Been looking forward to this episode being uploaded! Hope you told that tw@t in the msg at the end to do one… Jealousy gets you nowhere and I hope he watches this video and feels like a knob!

Well done Ryan… the first of many victories 🥇🥇🥇

Well done Ryan. What an achievement. I'm so impressed with your progress, and you ability to stick to the plan (if we disregard going for that green jersey in last race🙃). This is an awesome video. I have been on the exact same journey as you, and was hoping to get that zwift category D win before you, but you beat me to it, kudos. But I guess that's just one more motivating factor for me to push it even harder and trying to get it. Can't wait to see what your next goal on Zwift will be?

Top man, well deserved. I’ll be honest I thought you celebrated too early for a minute 😬

Absolutely loved that mate, well done. Next target get promoted to C...

congratulations, well deserved. when do we get a vid on that game collection.

Congratulations. Well happy for you 👊
