Hi, in races with a warm up lap, does the warm up lap count towards final time? Eg 7 laps whereby first lap says ‘warm up’ then after that the lap guide will say lap 1/6 then 2/6 etc - will only 6 laps count ?
I would like to know this as well. I did my first race today and noticed the warmup message. After I realized I would sustain the same watts for the entire time I dialed back a bit until the race started. Looking at results it appears the time counts the warmup as well.
Hi, I put this question to Eric Schlange of ZwiftBlog.com as he seems very knowledgeable. He replied that is always does count, so don’t use it as a warm up lap, it’s misleading. Set off at full pelt from the start.
It would be nice if Zwift would actually make it a real warm up lap (e.g., the ride to the London Classique course is about 2.5 miles), by adding a neutral zone car (or some sort of temporary ride leader) that cannot be passed. Then we would really have a warm up and the tactics of loop race rather than the split occurring on the first climb to Trafalger Square.
