Latour doing his best Landis impression

 

[HelloDolly]

I like looking at their houses and what watt per KG they are putting out ..some very big numbers

Might be better as a team relay as include various levels of power and maybe more exciting

 

[HelloDolly]

Latour eliminated !!! Seems cheating on virtual racing too !!!

 

[bajbar]

Has LaTour been DQ'd

 

[Laplaz]

This is hilarious!

 

[Faserr]

Virtuel doping test

 

[bajbar]

I mean, it was pretty obvious something was fishy. He was above 7 W/kg the whole time.

What happened to Latour?

(Chris Anker joked that his hometrainer might have exploded…)

 

[HelloDolly]

Joking about Latour cheating by the way

 

[HelloDolly]

Zakarin coming

 

[Faserr]

Roched killed himself following Latour D

 

[HelloDolly]

How many plaque has Adam Yates with his own name on ???

 

[HelloDolly]

Frank has supporters !!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

A problem with Latour's calibration, according to the commentary.

 

[HelloDolly]

6.1KG average for Roche ...very good

 

[HelloDolly]

Alot of motos on the course ...Kirby would not be impressed

 

[BlueRoads]

Vingegaard overtaking Roglic as a leader at JV... saw this coming.

 

[HelloDolly]

Roglic stopped pedalling

The most ridiculous thing about watching this is the cadence of the avatars, while the riders are almost falling of their trainers, lol.

Well, the BR awards for set-up:

Most sportive: Kwiatkowski
Best holiday-feeling: Rojas
Best style: Dillier
Sweetest: Frank
Most ineffective: Roglic

Why is Roche so good at this? He won today, was second the other day and was third in the Flanders race. Could it be a calibration issue or is he simply riding very ineffectively in the real races?

It really makes you wonder. He would have to be pretty ineffective... But most of the Sunweb riders in general seem to be in pretty good shape this spring on- and offline.
Also, I've been thinking about the geographical distribution of the well placed riders. I don't know where Roche is at the moment. But it looks like the Australian and US-riders are pretty good at this digital racing. Is it because there is some technical advantage of not being in Europe? Is Dennis an Outlier? Or are their handling skills simply really not suited for European roads?
(I hope the season resumes before these questions are fully answered...)

Unbelievable that they don't put that info into the "game". It looks like *** now. Seeing a guy push a huge gear slow as f* up a steep hill.

 

[RedheadDane]

Also the fact that all avatars have pretty much the same build. Surely it should be possibly to insert your height and weight, and then the platform could come up with an avatar that looks at least somewhat like your actual size.

 

[BlueRoads]

Matthews cheating or with a very good internet connection?
