Ghost Rider

Would love to see the watts/kilo a ghost rider is doing while they pass you or vice versa.

That’s definitely one of things we’ve been discussing here as well! We’ll continue to refine the AIs for sure :slight_smile:

This was posted over on Facebook a couple of weeks ago (by myself) with two different mock-up styles as a proposal:

It would be nice to have a “pace ghost” in workout mode at the ideal power output, because it’s diffcult to interpret just displayed power number, each time i read it on screen i ask myself : “is it too high or too low ? how much percent higher/lower am i?”

also, provide a “smooth power” option, for example 3 or 5 seconds smoothing.

thanks, keep your great job ! the workout mode is what i always wanted !!

Hi Guys,

 

sonething tgat gat occured to me when on the reverse lap today. Ghost riders. How about them being named after (wearing their name) of cycling heroes who have passed to the other side? E.g. Tom Simpson and this list https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_cyclists_who_died_during_a_race

 

ride on,

 

Dave

Huge apologies over my syntax. Red wine and no reading glasses. Huge apologies. Hopefully it makes sense? It would be inspiring to see famous old cyclists as ghost riders. 

 

Dave. 

While getting the rights to riders would most likely be a nightmare (no pun intended), I think seeing “inspired by” riders would be kinda cool to honor them.

not sure I want to be descending next to Wouter Waylandt or Fabio Casartelli to be honest…

Please see subject.

Yep, there should definitely be more diversity. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed a female ghost rider. 

Coming soon!

Great idea! I’d love to see more equality and representation! This would be especially encouraging for those trialling Zwift. Seeing your gender represented out there (real or ghost) is encouraging and welcoming. Thanks for the consideration and looking forward to the add/update!

I know this has been suggested before but I’d like to suggest, again, a change to the 30 day PR for segments.

There’s now so many maps & routes, it would be better, IMHO, to have your top 10 results of all time.

You could go one better and have a ghost rider, riding your PB segment as an incentive to go better…

I agree! Zwift needs a ghostrider capability that can be customized to ride a previous performance, a file a buddy sends you of their performance, or a particular output you select (ie 200 watts constant) so that you can chase or beat the performance. This would be a HUGE motivator!
