Introducing the Factory Tour Challenge: A New Electrifying Experience

There was a fairly large group doing the same thing on Ven-Top this morning, one rider parked and the others all teleporting. Not sure how they would get factory Tour credits putting out 0.0 power over and over. Maybe only upgrading bikes?

I late joined like crazy last year (5 spins in one event was my max, iirc), but I didn’t know you didn’t have to have a paired power source. Was the idea that you’d join and hope you were close enough to the end to let the auto pedal assist carry you across the line?

Probably going for distance unlocks for bike upgrades.

That loophole has been around for years but wasn’t really important. Now it is - because they all want the upgrades as fast as possible.

I don’t disagree with you.
I feel anyone who has ridden u should be able to test and Coast.
That’s why I said to have a time limit equal to the time it takes to Coast down.

There’s really no reason the session needs to end, just stop the timer.
Some people like to sit on the Alp to try a see the Yeti and that’s great.
I just don’t think sitting there should count as time on a TT bike

Teleports are a different issue and I have no real suggestions

Yep, I did that a few times.
It was fun breaking the rules but last year it was just for spin prizes.
There was nothing that would impact racing.

I did that several times, especially when the Big Spin was in Paris.
The pedal assist, combined with the downhill finish brought me over the line a few times just barely moving, but it was enough to get a spin of the wheel.

A rider came zipping through the pack on Big Spin today just past Downtown, riding the BMX, lightning socks ablaze. Didn’t catch any details (name, power, late join, etc).
