Thank you for all your hard work. The France course is excellent.

Yep - another voice here saying a massive thank you and top work to the Zwift team - you guys really smashed it with the French world. Rode the etape stage this morning and absolutely loved it. Some really cool little touches and I expect Iāll see more as I learn the routes. Must have been a monumental effort to get it all done in time. Great stuff.

No results from the event this morning from companion or zwift power? Zwift power had 100 odd riders complete from 4000. Nothing on companion. Any help?
Been riding for 10 minutes, game says 10. Companion says 11mph, game says 23mph. Everyone getting about 1 FPS on screen
July 11 2020 9am PST event
We have several of our colleagues riding in this particular event reporting low frame rate and other weird glitches. Weāre looking into exactly what happened with this one, because they didnāt occur in the events that happened overnightā¦
Major power issues during this ride at noon EST.
my wife riding a wahoo kickr bike suddenly had a trainer difficulty increase ala erg mode and was unable to ride for more than a few more minutes. after restarting zwift, the trainer, and the wahoo setup app, nothing has changed. the kickr bike is now useless to use on an event or regular ride on zwift
beside her I was on a wahoo kickr18. my power was wildly inaccurate. I put on my regular bike with a quark power meter and read power from my app at around 70W more consistently during the ride than what my zwift screen showed. I rode the ride at about 230W and it showed 160W on average!
@Krink
Please send the log files from both your ride and your wifeās ride from today so we can see what happened on your end.
Hereās how to find logs on your respective computers. Attach them to an email to support@zwift.com if you donāt mind.
Hi,
Donāt really need a āsolutionā to this, just to report that I rode the 17:00 BST lāEtape stage today, and the little marker on the stage profile at the bottom of the minimap didnāt update except in occasional jumps, so it was impossible to know what was coming up, or have advance notice of the sprint and KOM sections (also hard to see the road markers in a peloton).
A great ride otherwise 
The Etape 2nd Stage was excellent. A great course with a cheeky climb and no computer problems even with the amount of people riding. Chapeau Zwift! 
As an old timer on the platform I usually have a tendency to be critical, but can only heap praise. This sort of stuff makes paying my subs a bargain. If this is the benchmark, Ventoux will potentially make me ecstatic. Thanks also for sorting out the jersey issue. I now have it and feel I have earned it. Keep up the great work!!!
The only glitch I noticed this morning was in the first few minutes of the event, a group of presumably ānew to meā riders would appear around my avatar wearing the default Zwift kit, before they switched over to the LāEtape kit a fraction of a second later. Other than that, everything worked well.

I noticed the flashing orange kits on my ride too. We think those are late-joiners spawning in and getting outfitted with the proper kit.
I think what I was seeing couldnāt be due to late joiners. There were just way too many momentary orange kits. It seemed more likely that the set of 100 closest riders kept changing in the beginning of the ride, and each time a new set popped into view, my client didnāt have kit information for them yet, so it just used the default kit. Someone familiar with the code can probably easily confirm or deny this hypothesis.
Iāve done two rides of āVirtual Tour de France 2020ā. In both of these I had a lot of problems with the connection: it was all slow (time, km, etc), perhaps for the high number of zwifters? Am I the only one with these problems? Thanks
Fantastic! Or the carbon Peugeot was pretty nice, as well.

Rode the Casse-Pattes Stage 4 etape on Sunday (great work btw Zwift!) but itās saved to my Strava feed as Stage 2 Open in New Caledonia???
Definitely rode the Petite KOM, āviaductā and Marina Sprint, (have the screen shots to prove it!) and crossed the water twiceā¦ And I donāt think there are sunflowers and Chateauās in New Caledonia either!!
Any idea whatās happened???
Same here. Saved as Stage 2 to Strava, ZwiftPower, as well as Zwift.com 
This was Stage 2 of LāEtape. Stage 1 was last weekend, and Stage 3 will be next weekend. The course used for the Stage 2 LāEtape was the same as Stage 4 of the Tour de France Virtuel. Also, Zwift appears to be using some GPS coordinates In New Caledonia as surrogates for France in the virtual world, since these actual roads donāt exist. This is similar to what they did with Watopia. (And perhaps why Paris is yet a separate world, as those GPS coordinates may actually overlay with the IRL roads.)
Heheh, I actually had a Peugeot racer back in the mid 80s. It was made from Carbolite 103, as I recall. Which sounded cool, but I donāt think it was even Reynolds 501 level. Later upgraded to a Reynolds 531c frame & forks - that was my Zwift bike until recently.

Gotta say, France looks mint!
With the Tour sponsor branded paraphernalia itās really lovely and bright too. Not quite as vibrant when we drop out of event mode and only have the Zwift branding, but all the race/event accoutrements are still there, which is nice.
The roadside spectators could do with some brighter clothes though! Itās high summer in France and a load of them seem to be in long-sleeved raincoats and jackets. I guess they were shipped in directly from London and Yorkshire.

Hi @Kevin_Nicholls1 welcome to Zwift forums.
Virtual France, like Watopia, GPS-maps to remote islands in the Pacific. Thatās intentional.
The Paris world replicates the actual Champs Elysees, so it is GPS-accurate.
