  • Advice needed; a mate and I have decided to have a six stage virtual race, as we are quite evenly matched, effectively 6 time trials. Over a variety of courses no more than an hour.
    I’m 75kgs and ftp of 255
    He is 65kgs and ftp of 225
    I’m guessing I should have slight advantage on flatter courses and he over hillier ones.

    Any suggestions for tactics?
    Also what sort of assumptions should I make as to how much power I should be able to average for 20 mins 30 mins 45 mins etc.

  • Assuming this is Zwift, every race starts with a mandatory 3-5’ vo2 max effort before everyone holds on for dear life. To keep things authentic I’d start with that.

    No idea what your PD curve days you can maintain over 15, 20, 30 etc. You’ll have to find out.

  • If you have a decent amount of data on strava you can sign up to intervals.icu and it’ll show you power curves and PBs for seasons / years.

  • Any suggestions for tactics?

    Put your weight in as 40Kg, profit.

    According to Mitch Docker on the Life in the Peloton podcast this 'weight doping' is a thing.
