What mentality?
Us calling it out and stalking them?
Or them doing it?
I initially assumed they were a bit cheating - as their numbers are all ~300W and they are all 71kg and 184cm. With a HR of 160bpm.
I then realised they’re German
But seriously, a quick click through their profile shows they ride outside and are actual road racing champs, too!!!

Oh them doing it.
Like how fragile must your ego be to have to cheat on a game like zwift to get your jollies. See also draft packs in real life tris.

7.32pm start time. We were 116th out of all teams last week. The vast majority of teams above us had 7 or 8 riders. In the immortal words of Delia Smith, ‘Let’s be ‘avin’ you!’

Only 25kms and relatively flat. Let’s all just sit behind fruity and Jeff. Simples!

Did you not see my earlier post? I’m about to drop about 20w as I move from road bike on dumb trainer to tt bike on smart trainer!

You can have harder, but it comes with shorter.
Or you can have longer, but it comes with softer.
You’re team cap, you can choose!
Although I can just do a fruity and bail towards the end citing 8pm deliveries

I’m not sure she’s going to be happy with the choices.
And you need to work on your dirty talk

Looks like they’ve got hosting problems.
Lol, you need to set it up first. Perhaps your tiler need to check something
I’m definitely up for this although not sure if the sign up ticket is live yet??
Should we try each taking short turns on the front again, those who want to? I reckon that’s the way to smash out the fastest time.

Sounds like a plan. On discord last wek, Tom was calling through the turns, but I just wasn’t able to get my nose in front to take a turn.

Ah ok, was that the discord audio? Might have to try that again but I’m not a great fan of earphones. Phone speaker alone is pretty quiet under the din of the fan, turbo etc. How do others do it?

You only need one person calling them out. Keep it simple at 30 or 60 sec.
Tues team use 5 Min power as your effort on the front. Tho start a bit below then pick up if you can.
Blob up on any hills.
It is much faster.
I might join… See if my legs are still attached.

Aeropex bone conductor headphones. They’re good for this sort of thing and long runs.
