Today I was leading our 6Points Mallorca team through the virtual streets of Makuri Island on the “Neon Flats” course on the Zwift riding platform. In total we had three laps with four sprints the first two laps. before going into our optional mini-race at the end of the ride.

I pushed around 2,6 W/kg until the first sprint just to bring up the HR. After I gave the GO for the first sprint I set the general power to 2,8 W/kg. Of course there are some bumpers during the course where I pushed around 2,8 – 3,4 W/kg for a short moment.
But to bring the group together after each sprint I went down with the power numbers to 2,4-2,6 W/kg. Luckily the fence helped me showing the sprinters when to come back to the group again. Unfortunately, the heat was up during the first lap where we lost four souls to the fence. After that the sprinters used the bumpers for slowing down and coming back to the peloton again – good job 👍🏻

Talking about sprinting, there are some results to show of. For the first lap:

There were some times coming, but it looked like the sprinters saved some power for the next round.
During the second lap they had their last chance to get the fastest time on each sprint. Let’s check the second round out:

As I guessed before, the second round was much faster. Here the sprinters showed what they could go for. But of course, one has to save some juice when willing to go for our optional mini-race 😜
Well done sprinters and congrats to the green 🏆

After the last sprint during the rest of the second lap and half of last lap I went down with the power a bit to have a good recovery before I gave the GO for our racers.
With my GO I also raised the power to lead a larger group towards the race finish. And not long after the race start some riders lunched their afterburners and went away from our group. They had quite a long way with good power.
We in the leader-group just went with a higher number until we pushed all we had left doing the last sprint of the ride. And here are the results:

Congrats to B. Wu 🥇, H. Samuelsson 🥈 and R. Koiwashi 🥉 for the podium.
