ToW Stage 4 - no powerups

Absolutely. It was entirely predictable, e.g. I asked about this at Tour of Watopia Cycling 2022 FAQ - #76 by Steve_Hammatt a while back.

Sorry, yes, because of the temporary banners.

Everything is working as intended, then?

to be honest stage 4 has been a real ■■■■■■■■ by ZHQ, no powerups, forced onto a gravel bike that cannot be changed even if you have a better frame/wheelset in the garage, making @James_Zwift adjust every single result due to dirt being in the title of the race

hopefully stage 5 is better organised

Also, the finished stage email says the new route is now available anytime you want to ride it in the game, which it isnt at all.

Oh and the crazy high cadence that some tacx neo users are experiencing.

For the Mayan Bridge Loop run on Stage 4, you don’t get the badge if you do the advertised distance.
You run the lead-in, get the credit for the Tour, but the badge isn’t awarded unless you run almost the same distance as the lead-in.
I’m not sure about the Handful of Gravel run.

The DUST on stage 4 was stupid bad.

At least I was able to change bikes.
I rode 2 days on the default brown bike before realizing I could switch to a red bike.

Everyone knows red bikes are fastest.

I actually enjoyed Stage4 a lot. Everbody on the same Bike, no powerups. Great Route, it really showed who has got legs.

Great experience!
