Anyone else noticing the huge number of WKG disqualifications for Academy races over the last two days?
If a rider’s average exceeds the pen W/Kg zFTP threshold (2.625 for D; 3.36 for C; 4.2 for B ?), they are being disqualified, when only a tiny minority of them will get a CE pen promotion after such a race dq.
Pen D are only doing one lap races at each location and will take approx 18-22mins for the top Category Enforcement racers to complete, in a normal Category Enforcement race they could average approx 2.75-2.85 W/Kg for that sort of time duration and not get a zFTP promotion to C.
It’s affecting strong W/Kg light righters too, who in pen D, have a zFTP under 150W. Many women and youngsters getting WKG.
I’ve never seen an official ZwiftHQ race set up like this since Category Enforcement came along, suggesting to me it’s an event setup oopsie.
