As a frequent Robopacer rider, it would be nice to get the position of the Robopacer locked in the table on the right hand side. Even if I’m 1 minute in front or 20min behind.
Better time estimations is one of the minor annoyances I had for years. Only seven to go! :D Nice call out on brands buying better performance. I don't mind that if it means Zwift has a money stream other than subscriptions.
I just want them to bring in mountain bike trails. There are a lot of mountain bikers using zwift. Could make it super punchy. Throw in some jumps you have to Sprint for for bonus speed if you make them... There's a lot that could be done that would at least break up the monotony
I love that idea! It can be a speed bonus if you make it or a speed penalty if you don't make it. After some tweaking and testing, Zwift will know what feels right.
I’d love to have laps and NP on screen to monitor my own efforts on demand. Training peaks virtual is offering some interesting data live on ride. I understand zwift is “simpler” but I’d rather have the option and make my own choices
I don’t get the completion tracker on the companion app on iOS. I had the same issue with ToW back in November, but I could see it on the baseline rides
The route estimates update is nice. Just tested it. One of those, oh yeah that's good, things. Oh, and can you post me some warm weather please? The UK is bloody freezing. May increase Peak Zwift by a few percent. Not due to change for a week or so.
Hey Shane, it’s Shane, I wonder if you could get Zwift to allow us to select and jump into a route badge directly from the Achievement area… seems obvious to be able to “select and ride” the missing achievement from where you see that it’s missing… but maybe I’m just thinking too logical.
I hope they fix the issue where the game takes forever to close out the window when I shut it down on my MacBook Pro. It seems to open and close the app very clunky on my brand new computer
Am I missing something as it shows when I completed stage 1 with a single ride it doesn’t show when I completed the other 2 rides in stage 1 - how are they and we to track for the ultimate challenge?😮
Shane thank you for the update, your reports are always informative. From one Australian to another it is really distracting when you say “route” as an American would not as an Australian does. Keep up the good work cheers
One cool feature that Zwift could make is a route builder option. Would it not be cool to allow us to build a route to ride? So before your planned ride sit down build a route and then go for the ride! Sort of like using ride with gps to build a planned bike ride.
I would like to have total control of steering. I don't need Zwift to make decisions about the line I take or having to constantly make corrections when Zwift decides who I'm drafting.
Started Zwift Dec 23 , got Tron in 48 days , yesterday earned level 90 and this is my favorite channel for all that is Zwift . And curious on what are your favorite kits and wondering if you could make a video sharing on what kits and why . Thanks as always
I predict peak numbers this year will be significantly lower than past years due to subscription cancellations after the price hike. My guess 39,999. Just to prove a point of not hitting 40K. 😊
@@ozgurinsan Initially, I had some problems, too. But the last six months MyWhoosh is totally stable here, on two systems (both pretty standard and old Windows PCs). The updates are a pita because they are so huge that they can postpone your training session easly for 10 minutes or more. Otherwise, I am quite happy with it.
And that‘s the changelog for how long? TP Virtual has more improvements per week. Things that are highly requested in the Zwift forum for year just get done in weeks.
Each stage has a women’s only event. From the Zwift website: “All genders can join categories A, B, and C, but the D category is for women only and follows the same route as Category B.”
Am I the only one who thinks the Zwift tour kits are always horrible? Every single one looks like they've handed the colour selection and kit design tools to a colour-blind 5 year old with an attention disorder...Just once, it would be nice to unlock something that didn't look like it was thrown together in 2 minutes by someone who has no clue what colours look good together!
There have been some that were cool in the past but this year’s kit, I will never touch it again after this. I’m already sick of looking at it and it’s only stage 1. I dunno who at zwift had to sign off on this, but take their pen away 🤦🏽♂️
Yeah it's mind boggling how they manage to make them so ugly year after year. And it's not like they're incapable of designing nice kits, which appear on other events. Can you believe they actually tried to sell the tour de zwift kits irl for previous years. I can't imagine many people bought them.
5:08 "It's not a race... It always becomes a race" 💥
SO TRUE 👍
and despite the category it is always A race 😂
It’s definitely Peak Zwift in my region as we’ve been buried in snow and ice all week!
As a frequent Robopacer rider, it would be nice to get the position of the Robopacer locked in the table on the right hand side. Even if I’m 1 minute in front or 20min behind.
Agree!
This lack of "tracking" has been bugging me too.
Right now, you depend on the map to indicate where mr. robot is hiding.
This way annoying me the last few times too haha 😂
shane you gotta get that uber pretzel done

I late joined one of the short categoies, only had to ride like 4 miles to check that box lol
3:27 Rumor has it the tradeoff for the increased aero is your power output being up to 20% inaccurate 😉

@LasseBuck idk why they killed the mtb trail. Makes me sad.
Have seen that Mac weekly ride bug multiple times. Glad it's fixed.

Interesting that the route estimation still says “for most riders” even though it’s supposed to be specific to the user…
Thank you for these updates! Peak..next week??

TDZ, ‘not a race’…it’s joining the B group ride where the leader says ‘I’m planing on an easy day’.

It would be great if there was a manual lap button in free ride mode

I was raised on Cisco material in the mid-late ‘90s. It stuck. Dropping the term ‘root’ doesn’t seem right.
Is there a catch up week if you miss any do we know?
I suspect there will be a week of that at the end.
No news on Trainerroad api integration then? This is disappointing as thought it was slated for January..
Nothing yet. I expected it in this update too.
It hurts a little to hear you said “petite douleur”😂

that would be awesome, now imagine they make it so anyone can publish their routes and make these weekly challenges. unlimited content
Would love to see zwift focus on the custom workout builder, especially if you could create workouts on the companion app.
I was on there yesterday and couldn't believe how rudimentary it is. For me, it's the modifying texts from existing workouts that got me.
TIL llama still hasn't done the Uber pretzel
Any news on connecting (e.g. jet black victory) via usb to zwift? Avoids issues of Bluetooth and WiFi.
No word on that. I’ll ping them on this.
I miss the old Zwiftcast format, Shane.. bring it back. Please 😢
Not my call sorry... I'm just not a popular podcast pannlest. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
I would like to have total control of steering. I don't need Zwift to make decisions about the line I take or having to constantly make corrections when Zwift decides who I'm drafting.
Iirc all those new Badges are Stages in TdZ, so no need to go hunting, if you want to do those.
75% for a 5 and a half hour ride. oof
finish lines mean its a race for someone
What about Zwift run ?
Not my area of expertise.
Do first rides on climb portal generate bonus xp yet?
New to Zwift. How do I get the update?? Where do I find it?
Zwift updates automatically, no need to do anything.
42.564 peak zwift . Spot on 😜 (i think)
No double XP in tour the Zwift?
Never was. You are thinking of the Tour of Watopia.
@@jamesmckenzie3532 I did not know that. When comes Tour of Watopia?
@jan-peterandriessen4682 In the Fall.
@@jamesmckenzie3532 Thanks James.
Started Zwift Dec 23 , got Tron in 48 days , yesterday earned level 90 and this is my favorite channel for all that is Zwift . And curious on what are your favorite kits and wondering if you could make a video sharing on what kits and why . Thanks as always
Level 90!? In 13 months!? Do you have no job/responsibilities?! 😮
Impressive!
You must be training at least twice a week 😉
I also run on zwift. In my last run i unlocked a pinarello dogma bike. I was quite irritated. Anyone an idea how that can happen?
It's Zwift's subtle way of telling you that you need to buy a Zwift Ride and Kickr Core and get on yer bike.
@ i just did the mega pretzel. So i do comply nicely but not with their bike :-D
TrainerRoad workout integration!!!
Can’t be far away.
Any update on Mario kart mode in 2025? 🤣
I predict peak numbers this year will be significantly lower than past years due to subscription cancellations after the price hike. My guess 39,999. Just to prove a point of not hitting 40K. 😊
If you do not race and dont care about social, Mywhoosh is more than enough, and its free.
@@ozgurinsanbut it keeps crashing on multiple devices for me. Also, every time they update it there’s an issue for me
There’s more forces at play than just the price increase. I’ll wait for the dust to settle on Peak Zwift and start digging a little deeper.
@@adsteventon Sorry to hear that, 1 year ago I had similar problems but now they have been fixed.

It’s good the Zwift forums exist for TPV to plan their development timeline with then. 😉
@ They already have implemented a lot of it. Keyboard and game controller support on iOS? Bam! It‘s just there. George Gilbert is flying.
There’s no women’s only cat at TDZ?!
Each stage has a women’s only event. From the Zwift website: “All genders can join categories A, B, and C, but the D category is for women only and follows the same route as Category B.”
I'm a female and have never seen the point of female only events. Why does it matter what sex the other avatars are?
@@gplama That's strange - I'm not seeing a D category on any of the events?
@@fablolliesrock Me neither!

i like the socks
I agree. The unlocks dont appeal to me.
It really is absolute garbage! The Tour of Watopia kit's colors were green and blue together.. who comes up with such a bad color combination!?
Algorithm!
Zwift is too expensive in europe. Peak will be below that of last year. 39420
Late joined the C ride and had the highest 5min power of all 900 people 😂. Got about 350 passes, which was fun motivation.
It’s not a race but if you ain’t winning you’re losing! Second place is just the first loser.
There horrible!
Come again? There horrible - where? They’re horrible - who?
@gplama The kits! Lol
Rouvy is the best
