So here’s a question: aren’t you in that group being affected by the draft of the group in the same way that the Bot is?
If a Bot is listed at 3 w/kg, and you go in expecting 3 wk/g, but the group is big and so the Bot gets pulled along at faster speeds…why aren’t you being pulled along as well? In other words, if the Bot maintains that 3 w/kg but is getting pulled to faster speeds, shouldn’t you be able to maintain the same 3 w/kg and get pulled by the bunch to the same degree?
Am I missing some fact here about how the Bots work? I know they vary wattage by grade, but are they also varying wattage by speed too? I didn’t think they did? I thought that a 3 w/kg Bot would do (roughly) 3 w/kg on a flat if it was all by itself, and 3 w/kg on a flat if there are 100 people with it. The speed will go up in the latter case, but I thought the w/kg stayed the same, regardless of bunch size or speed. And if that’s the case, why isn’t your 3 w/kg being affected the same way?
