My wife passed away from stage 4 cancer after 5 1/2 years of immense fight to stay alive and seeing Gustav's mother was really very emotional - i wish your Mom a healthy journey filled with love and kindness

Unfortunately she died in may. She was active as a veteran cyclist before getting sick, very nice person, friendly and down to earth. So unfair to see her go that early from cancer.

13.52 is filthy. Correct me if I'm wrong but no one with a LC background comes anywhere close. That's why SC dudes will always dominate LC if they transition correctly. Would love to see Alex Yee make the switch eventually

Just started with Zwift, it's a great app, scenery is good, I see what you mean with it being a little easier to stay motivated in doors. For me riding on the road where I live in country Queensland, there are too many large trucks and terrible roads. It's not worth the risk of riding outdoors. Getting used to the app slowly. A great little app. As for your mother, I wish her well.

11:00 of course you can get "humiliated" by people who are adapted to short competitions with on/off efforts where tactics are relevant; you need a high VLaMax to win on Zwift races and a hugh anaerobic capacity. You need in particular a low VLaMax to win on Kona because otherwise, you cannot refuel the carbs you consume and a high anaerobic capacity gets you nowhere since you spend not a single second in the zone where that is relevant. It is as if world class guitar player is confused about a mediocre piano player beating him in piano playing.

Sure there are cheaters, but surely if he is on a 3 hour ride, many a young amateur or pro rider can be faster over a short climb, or over a few minutes ?
