A, B or E women race

Hi everyone,
I have a question for you. I’m a woman, in order to compete in the zwift Academy, do I have to race in category E (only women) or B/A. Because in A/B there are only men and it’s difficult to stay with the peloton…

Are you competing for the pro contract?

If not, you can really do any of the races you are allowed to do. For me unfortunately only option was A so that meant ride along at low intensity on my own while the monsters smash 6-12w/kg for 9 laps.

As long as you complete the race is enough. There are no rules like being excluded (DNF) if you get lapped.
