IMHO, this is the most fun race concept so far. Not only sit in the front and sprint in the end. Scouting your opponents, make the course selection, discuss the tactics with the team, execute, then the lessons learned from why nothing turned out the way it was planned 😂 Also great space for ppl who wants to master the art of TC. All other races and training during the week are just to sharpen yourself for the next coming ladder race 😊 Every rider makes a difference and the best wins are the ones where your team wins with 1 single point IMHO🎉
Thanks Rep mate, I’m super glad you’re enjoying it! That seems to be a consistent theme from people who have ridden it, they say it’s amazing. Which league/team are you racing for? Maybe see you out there on the road soon! Thanks for the comment and support, appreciate it 👊💪👍
Absolutely great video mate, so pleased you did this as I have been wondering what ladder racing is for ages! Seems like a really good alternative race format with a strong team element! Enjoyed seeing the Snow team at the end there very strong 💪🏻 it’d be great to race with you guys 👍🏻
Cheers mate appreciate it - everyone seems to love it so they must be onto something. The guys are super excited by the idea of having an actual TH-cam superstar in the team, I’ve added you to the channels on discord so it’s ready for whenever you feel like giving it a try, kit included 😂👊💪👍
Great content Jake! I've watched a few of these races on YT and they look like a ton of fun. But you're the first to really break down the way the ladder actually works, thank you!
Cheers Mark mate! Right up your street this is you’d do great. Sure there’s loads of teams that would be dying to get you on the books - we definitely would!!! 👊💪❄️
If you join a larger team, example: Drafting Dino, Coalition, Herd etc. Tell them you want to join the Ladder, They will find a team for you to race on. The Ladder goes by your ZR rating. I'm an 8(silver). My team is 7,8 and 9. So we will race similar ranked teams. So much better that Zwift cats. So much fun. You won't regret it.
Thanks Aidan mate appreciate it. It certainly is, you can join any team that’s already on the ladder, there is a ‘transfer window’ for roster signups, etc - but to be honest I personally would NOT join one of the bigger teams as it’s very impersonal and you’re easily lost in the shuffle. That’s why I founded SNOW team - and we’re doing great. If you wanted to join up with us for Ladder or other events let me know we’d be glad to have you 👊👍💪
You can try looking on Facebook Zwift racers group for teams- personally I would avoid the larger clubs/teams as they don’t do anything to develop you and it’s quite impersonal - you’re just another rider. That’s why I formed the SNOW team which is doing great. If you want to join us for ladder just let me know, we organise events via Discord
@@jakesandersonsnowmancycling I respectfully disagree. My captain is very involved with our team. We strive to help everyone get stronger, faster, smarter. As a team. Most fun I have ever had racing
Not advertising for any team. Just expressing what worked for me. Hopefully more people join ladder races. More teams equals better competition and fun for all@@jakesandersonsnowmancycling

Be great to have you on the team 👍🏻
Great video Jake. About time you got on the ladder you’ll love it.
I concur
Thanks G mate, looking forward to jumping in soon 👊💪

Cheers Paul! Really glad you enjoyed it. Just spotted your channel so I've subbed and look forward to seeing some ladder races!! Thanks again
thank you Jake for the Video. All information ypu need packed in 12mins! Great Race Footage!
Thanks Marten, and awesome job in the final km, blew the race wide open!
Looks fun. Strong performances from The Snow team 💪
Cheers Stevie mate, looking forward to seeing you and the Race3R guys out there hopefully!!
I’m too lazy to arrange the team 🤣
Great video Jake, I've never done a ladder race, but after watching this I really want to try it now! 👌
Cheers Mark mate! Right up your street this is you’d do great. Sure there’s loads of teams that would be dying to get you on the books - we definitely would!!! 👊💪❄️
Ladder racing is a hoot! All the "normal" Zwift racing tactics get thrown out the window making it so much fun.
Another satisfied customer! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it, which team/league do you race in?
@@jakesandersonsnowmancycling Sorry, I somehow missed this comment! I'm on the CC Banoffee Pies in the APAC region.
@@JLKCMO09 ah no worries - was hoping you’d say EMEA so might run into you out on the road! Great team name though 😂👍
Jake and Ollie on the ladder we could get a 3rd team going
SNOW White & The Seven Wankers
Great video as always Jake! I haven’t got a team to register so is it possible to join a team that’s already on the ladder?

I had to leave Herd racing to get better as a racer, sorry to say - as they don’t do anything to develop you or help you, etc
not sure the best way to join an active team to help in the ladder races?
Just join a Larger team. I joined the Drafting Dino's, They found a Ladder team for me to join. Most fun you will ever have, Racing LOL

What’s wrong with 24km a week? 😂
It’s 22 km more than my target strong week I’d say
Absolutely nothing - if you don’t have a bike!
Ouch.. 😂
i thought this was going to be about actual ladders
🪜🏎 - now there’s an idea!
