SOOO MANY NEW COMMENTS! I haven't checked on my channel for a while because I've been super busy with college. Don't have the time to film and edit these videos anymore. Thank you everyone for the love and the tips!
Blown away with how this video is gaining more views everytime I check! 😅 Still very busy with college.. my bike's all the way in my hometown while I'm in a different city to study
Please note that I put chapters in the video so feel free to skip parts! Let me know if I should post whole races next time or if I should just do the same next time (First 5 Minutes of the Race, Last 500m of the Race)!!! Hope you guys enjoyed! Edit: Ps. I finally got connected to Zwift Power and it turns out I got into the 18th place!
1.) You pushed 300 watts for a good while at the start, but you started that big effort too late. If you had done that right off the start line, you would have had a much better chance of making the front group. The first minute is really important, as you saw in this race. The field was already split into many groups by 1:08. 2.) I agree with other commentators that you can drop the rear video in the bottom right. 3.) Can't sit at the back of the group, man! Have to sit in the middle or second/third row as much as possible so you don't have to keep bridging gaps but also stay out of the wind. 4.) When you get dropped, just slow down and rest and wait for the next group to catch you. Do a big effort to get up to speed and draft them as they approach. No point going solo, the group behind will always catch you. 5.) solid sprint! If you can make it into-and stay in-the front group, and you get your timing right, that sprint can win you Zwift races. Good luck! (I'm not a real life racer, but I race on Zwift about once a week. I won a couple C races and got upgraded on Zwift power to B. Then I immediately started winning B races. It is all about conserving energy as much as possible and then spending it on the hills and the final sprint. I race people that ride at 3.9 or 4.0 w/kg and I only have 3.4 or 3.5, but I still beat them on the flatter courses like Crit City and volcano flat.)
You are really strong, just inexperienced. Watch some videos on racing tipps as it is all about tactics ...you definitely got the endurance and power. But you lost your motivation understandably when you lost the groups. Awesome that you found a goal again and wanted to beat Boyce, the rider in front of you, that’s what it’s all about. Never give up. Little goals accomplished have major effects. Great race!! Stay strong!!
Hey! You have good sports data and good equipment. 3-4 years of regular training and progress is inevitable. With a sprint like yours (1000 W), there will be victories in Zwift, the main thing is that there is a desire to train. Good luck!
about draft, when your avatar sits up you have draft, when it tucking down, you have no draft, on the TRON bike the avatar is tucking down all the time, so you don't know if you have draft. I think you are a strong ride, you are clearly a B rider and soon an A. Strong effort!
Buy a personal hotspot to always have steady internet connection for your races. You’re doing great. Also push hard 10 seconds on countdown with big wattage (400-500) to “catapult” out that starting pen and not be left behind.
Great video, I'm new to cycling and zwift. What is the best gear combination to use in zwift i have the same trainer "Tacx Flux 2" any help would be apreciated i have 2 gears in front and 9 in the back, using Spepecialed Allenz sport road bike
This is the 4th or fifth time watching this. How did you set up your swift. I want to do live stream, but not race, with the same set up like yours. How many cameras needed and how do you show your face on the screen and be a ble to read messages and communicate with viewers. Sorry I ask a lot. Thank you.
Hello mate sorry for the late reply! Been really busy with college hehe 1. For my Zwift, I used the TACX Flux 2 connected to my laptop. 2. This wasn't a livestream unfortunately, but you can use a laptop and download OBS (a streaming/screen recording software) while you Zwift! There are many tutorials here on TH-cam on how to start a livestream :D
Joining a race is good, but try to get some pacing cause you use too much energy. Work around your FTP. Advice for you join some category C ride 2.5 to 3.2 that's 190watt average.
I'll take note of that 🤣 gonna try getting better ventilation as well! It gets real hot here in the Philippines sometimes.. well uh, - most of the time haha!

Epic sprint at the end!! 1000watt for 10seconds is outstanding! Respect ✊
Thanks man!! Cheers!! 😄
its a flux... yeah...

Thanks man!!
That's good going fella and kudos to you for riding in the correct category.
One tip... put everything into staying with groups if you might get dropped. The benefit is huge to the final result.
Consistent High cadence (95+rpm) will allow you to stay within the group
Hey!
You have good sports data and good equipment.

Good luck!
i would recommend setting up the best cooling set up you can if you haven't already, overheating can seriously hamper your performance.
Noted! Thanks for the suggestion! 😁
Nice one, bro. Watched it 2 a.m. while having a work break, wala akong katulgon oi. Haha :D
Thanks bro!!! Glad you enjoyed!!! 😁
Planning on doing just live stream on Strava. Glad I found you. still trying to figure out how to set everything up.
Damn that’s a killer sprint bro!
very strong ride man. sprint power is amazing.
Lose the video on the right so people can see W/kg and turn on the Zwift power graph 👍
Alright will do man!! Thanks!! 😁
about draft, when your avatar sits up you have draft, when it tucking down, you have no draft, on the TRON bike the avatar is tucking down all the time, so you don't know if you have draft. I think you are a strong ride, you are clearly a B rider and soon an A. Strong effort!
I’d ditch the jersey.. I’m not sure why people would wear a jersey when on a trainer?
Immersion lol

Nice kick at the end!
you know what, that was epic bro!
Yooo good job! 😄
Great video and solid effort 💪🏼
good video.. what is your bike and setup ?
Giant Propel! It’s on a Tacx Flux 2 😁
Followed you on Strava!
Holy shit! You strong!
Awesome stuff!
Appreciate it man!
Great video, I'm new to cycling and zwift. What is the best gear combination to use in zwift i have the same trainer "Tacx Flux 2" any help would be apreciated i have 2 gears in front and 9 in the back, using Spepecialed Allenz sport road bike
that was amazing matey
you cover the most important part of the UI... i wonder why?
what equipment you are using ?
I wish I could use this in VR my Oculus Quest 2

Yep, really strong! If i could: my average power would have to be more than 250W to beat you... But: currently max: 210W =)...

Strong legs 👍 it looks like you are on a pretty low saddle height from the camera in the back. But guess it works good for you?
Recently got a bike fit and got my saddle height raise!! Hahaha was definitely too low for me at this time
I think you should create a second channel that has long vids so people can enjoy what they want
try whole race sunod broo!! wanna watch it hehe👊💯
Sige sige bro!!!! 😁
Awesome man!
What Smart trainer are you using on your bike?
I'm using the TACX Flux 2 😁
Estou querendo comprar o sensor Magene para usar no app zwift, tenho uma esteira, vou colocar no meu tênis para medir a velocidade será que dá certo?
Good on ya for putting yaself out there dude. 👍 Looking at it hard. If you finish 90 I'm 99!!!!! 😂
Hahahaha thanks mate 😂
How often are you racing? I would love to race with you
can we do a 1vs1 on swift?😂
Very strong
Good effort! With a bit more practice you'll be really strong!
Thanks man!! 💯
Bad pulse, u need to do something with your hr in race
180 avg. bpm it's normal ? I don't think.
Bro next time don’t put anything at right side of screen. Cheers!
Dol, dili ra laay if mag zwift? Plan ko mu buy trainer unta. Thanks
Laay kung mag long ride ka dol mao kung mag zwift ko kay short ride ra tapos naka training mode/intervals! Gapa music ra dayun ko or mag movie hehehe
@@HanzyBoii thanks dol. Actually naka palit nakog thinkrider a1. Lingaw ra sad. Hehe. Dmd imong power ako max 800w ra hahaha
Lets race !! M from Belgium !
You only weigh 147 pounds?? How tall are you?
5'10" !! Now I've gained weight because of uni 😅
I would suggest a breathing trainer in thru your nose out thru your mouth. It will help you a bunch.
With some better fluid management before the race you won't need to have a zip of water after 1 minute and 20 seconds 🤣
I'll take note of that 🤣 gonna try getting better ventilation as well! It gets real hot here in the Philippines sometimes.. well uh, - most of the time haha!
Nice your 67kg or 147 pounds.
First HAHA!
Pre, asa ka nakapalit
Local bikeshop nko sir nga affiliated sa Garmin 😁
2.9w/kg... I dont think you get rights performances
Nice vid lodi
Matsalam lodi!!!!
The real work out is doing this on a fixie bike
