It was fun, but it would be more interesting if it had been the full distance and a full peloton. Do these platforms take into account downhill (relative to weight) as well?Greg is a real athlete, a true Flandrien with perhaps the highest basic level of all pro riders. He has a virtual Ronde now, hopefully there's still a genuine one to follow. He really deserves it. Today could've been the day, with such beautiful weather.
It was entertaining television and a big thanks to the people and organisations who made it work. It will never replace real cycling, but in days like these it's the best we could wish for.
Is there any advantage in drafting in this simulation?
