who was doing 345 or more watts ALL the time.No HRM of course because itās not a real rider.He ,or should that be it ,had two jerseys ! So total lack of respect for genuine riders who but in huge efforts to try a win a jersey ! This person should be banned or at the very least a shadow ban so ātheirā efforts donāt interfere with genuine riders !
I burned more calories from reporting those riders within the app, than from pedaling ( almost ), and never seen any action taken.
Sometimes the same BOT is riding weeks after I reported them, which makes one think if Zwift care at all as long as they receive their monthly payment
Thanks Boox Yes the same with me ! It does make a total mockery of their respect policyā¦or is cheating not regarded as showing no respect ! In my eyes itās the ultimate way of showing lack of respect
Different situation but same feeling: I was running yesterday (Tri race) and someone had very unusual numbers. Usually, thereās no HR or cadence and the pace is constant with this kind of performance.
I checked past activities and they managed to achieve an even better time (btw Kiplimo did the HM in 57min) or ride for 50 min @5+wkg and an average of 119bpm
I regard anyone doing huge watts without a HRM as cheating (Pro runner or Cyclist obviously not ! ) The reason being that your HR shows how hard you are actually working to do what you are doing, so the cheats donāt show it because itās a unrealistic low number !
I donāt know - not much you can tell just looking at HR of another person you donāt have accurate historical data for. I know people whoās threshold HR is above my max of 185, and likewise people whose max is below my threshold HR in the 160ās⦠Someone could easily be at max and you think itās ātoo low to be realā and someone else could just be spinning Z2 effort but be in the 170s.
One guy at over 50yo yesterday zoomed up ADZ at 400w taking the jersey at 40 minutes. Zpower with no heart rate, the 400w didnāt move an inch the whole time.
It would be nice if these superhuman performances could be automatically flagged and the rider then has to provide Zwift some proof they can really do that.
Thatās reasonable for everyone who is trying to do the right thing.
