Hi ZwiftPower Team,
I was DQ’d for “Elite Contact”.

Here my zwift poert ID: 402777
My FTP before the race was inside the category limit and Zwift allowed me to start.
I understand post-race reclassification, but wanted to ask if the DQ is correct in this case.
Thanks!

The Virtuslo events tend to have a very detailed set of rules which you can see in the event description.

In this case the DQ code is because you’ve averaged over 350w for 20 minutes without uploading dual power recording.

You can contact the race organiser at https://virtuslo.cc/ to find out how to get your performance verified.

hanks for your message, but the DQ code doesn’t exist on their website and there was no mention of double recording in the conditions. That was the case in the last series, but not in this edition. That confused me, as I had already been disqualified once before because of elite power. We checked specifically and couldn’t find anything about it. Although elite power is nonsense anyway, if you weigh 95 kg, 350 W isn’t particularly much.

Hi Flo, I’m the race organizer and issued the DQ code on Zwiftpower as per our Rules…there is also a Contact Tag so when can resolve the issue.

If you read the section below carefully you can see we can verify your power also with Strava.

““World Tour level performances above the limits stated below must be supported by DUAL POWER recordings uploaded to ZwiftPower and with margin of error of less than 4%. Outside KOM efforts on Strava can be used for verification of Dual Power analysis.””

If you have any Strava Efforts on Climbs longer than 5mins please send it to virtuslocc@gmail.com

Rules applied are under MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS
