clear this rider need to be move up from the C group ZwiftPower - Login

doing 4.2w/kg in the C is not cool.

100% he should be moved…his zFTP should be over 200W after the last race.

The odd thing about that is he only won by 2 seconds putting 2wkg more than the next person for 5 mins.

He put out 5.3wkg for 5 mins which is Cat A zMAP territory power but of course the watt floor will allow him to break B races instead.

To some degree it shouldn’t matter – his ZP profile says he has not registered on Zwiftpower, so he shouldn’t appear in the results in the first place?
.
You did well though, especially for a nonagenerian.

The problem is he U23 and weight 2g looking at the profile. we need more police for caught them

5.3 is something…

But, you’ve put 2.7 and took 2nd. Someone put 3.2 and was 32th.

Overall, his numbers aren’t that off when comparing the rest, it’s really the 5min that stands out.

He was able to sustain those 5 min and that’s it. I’m not 100% sure if this makes him a “B” rider. It’s a 20min race a he has 1/4 in his favor, how about the rest 15 min?

There’s a fair chance he got upgraded and we haven’t seen it yet on his profile. If you’re above the Watt floor, you get to ruin one race. If you’re below the Watt floor you can do whatever you want forever.

I used to think that you’d get a WKG symbol and DQ’d if pumping over 3.2wkg (95% of 20 mins) in C cat?

It’s quite clear to me that the whole system is floored. I started as a D cat and was enjoying keeping up with others. I then made the mistake of doing a 20 min fpt test, went all out and scraped into cat C. Now finish last or bottom 3 most times. The issue is that there are those who can clearly ride for 20 mins at cat B level which keeps them easily in the main bunch and able to shed the likes of me because they are putting out Cat B ratings in order to do this. Over a 15 km race for example, they may do 23 mins. These riders clearly manage their wattage to just stay within the cat C albeit they are clearly B’s. If such riders did a 20 min fpt with those figures they would be moved up to B.
