Racers! The time has come. Here is the official announcement thread for the upcoming category enforcement test events I’ve alluded to for the last few weeks. At the bottom of this post is an extensive list of questions we anticipate might crop up. If you don’t see the question you’ve got answered…

The problem lies in the fact that users can change their weight as they like. Normal weight changes should be allowed. If your weight has changed and you haven’t updated your weight in a while (e.g. summer), you have to change it in steps over some time.

I wouldn’t take it personally James, I’m sure the comments are aimed more at “The Man” than you. I think people were initially encouraged by these (baby) steps towards a fair racing system and now feel somewhat let down.

true, I was assuming they meant the 95% of best 20 minute old ZwiftPower calculation for some reason. While the numbers are expressed in w/kg they are derived from critical power and MAP. Not sure if that makes any difference?

You seem to be taking the brunt of everything for the last while, to be fair. Is Flint still with the business?

[image] Shakes: If I can ask another question (sorry for being repetitive) why has 60 days been chosen and not a much longer period? i think it’s fair. i think 90 is fine too. people get injured or sick
