Virtual Tour de France on Zwift

I watched all 4 races over the weekend whilst on the trainer, so if killed some time and was entertaining enough as there is no other racing on.

I had mixed feelings on it, im really not interested in making it more realistic to view with caravans or crowds etc. The commentary was pretty poor and it’s a game/training tool at the end if the day.

What I do like is watching pros in a different environment throwing down against each other. It was ‘good’ to see them suffer in a close up way, it was interesting to see their numbers and how they raced.

Watching MVDP with his cadence of 105+ in his garage, G attacking on the climb with 400w at 60rpm to soften people up.
The break aways on the radio climb

Though Zwift do need to sort out there drafting to allow for race/team tactics to come into play as it’s every man/women for themselves currently.

Edit - yes, get rid of the power ups, and that silly new charge race feature that no one wanted, makes things a bit to much of a joke.
