Yesterday I completed the sprint test of the new Baseline programme; which includes 3 Free Ride sections of 15 seconds. I ride a Zwift Hub One which of course includes virtual gears.
Here lies the issue. Every time the workout leads up to the sprint, there is no way to prepare for the sprint. You cannot preselect the gear, and every sprint reset the start gear to gear 8 (I think) which I assume is based on the change with game update 1.76.
This means that the first 3-5 seconds you are frantically trying to get up to a suitable sprint gear, trying to avoid spinning out, and avoiding the massive resistance load hitting; all which impacts the output I could produce. On one of the sprints, the click also didn’t respond and felt like it needed to reconnect before changing gear, causing a huge spinout…
Here is a quick extract of the power and cadence data.
You can see the low torque and the high cadence.
Is there a way anyone has found to get round this? Or am I missing a feature or setting to help this issue? I feel that my report won’t be reflective on my ability (for better of worse!) due to a technical limitation of my setup.
