Is it possible to have zPower only races ???

You don’t understand why others take the race so seriously yet you are unwilling to use an accurate measure of power (smart trainer at trainer diff 0) that would set you back out of the A group. Perhaps you should consider how your actions affect others and consider the fact that you are selfishly …

I have always advocated for having Zpower in all categories except for A. My reasoning is they are bound by the same power limits therefore even if they reade 20% high they will be racing in a category 20% higher than IRL. I seriously thinking there should be a blanket rule for no Zpower in A cate…

[image] Paul: A feature to cap the W/kg of zPower users would also be interesting. They would do less damage at the back of a race than at the front. Well that in general (not just races) to prevent these folks thundering along at high power levels unrealistically. I didn’t use these methods…

If they had power capped to 1.5W/kg and were restricted to E category, that would at least give them somewhere to go and make a grupetto. If they reach A level power, they probably won’t have any idea how to enter any race. That might not be the best outcome unless Zwift decides to simply ban them f…

I hate the idea of a total ban because most people using Z power tend to be newer to the platform and the use of Z power, while very imperfect, gets their foot in the door. Most people become aware of the issues and try to improve accuracy. In this case, and individual is for going a better power …

Would he be able to race B? Then you would have a rider with false A Power in B. His w/kg should prevent him entering lower cats so does it become a total race ban? Shouldn’t this trigger ZADA anyway?

Yes for this case he won’t be able to race any race because he is above B limits. But all other events is still open.

Yes I agree but I think this whole thing was just trolling.

Ok I get that but I only go on one race per day if I am lucky. There are 100’s of races each day. So if an A grader is not happy with me joining in … he/she has a choice of going on other races during the day. I think that’s fair enough. As I said … I let people know I am using z power before a rac…

I’m thinking just a ban from A racing, Zpower can still do all rides and events just not races in the A category.
