another great ride and production mate 🤙🏼

Race 2 was very close, i didn’t manage yo catch you, well done !

Nice job 🎉

I was in that race events, you kicked our butts in race 2. I think I came 17th. You blasted away-kudos👍

Good stuff Ty!!! I got dropped from the main group at the same hill at 2.6km. That Prime Time slot is so hard. Drafting much better lately… keep it going!! 💪🚲👏

Well done! This race was super hard. There is some really strong guys pushing the pace so it's really hard even if you're in the pack all the time saving energy.

As you said.. big misstake at the end, with that speed you was comming through the pack you should just have hit maximum power and you would have won that one. Great to see you are really improving race after race.. those C riders better watch out for in the next race 💪💪💪

Loving the videos buddy! Keep it up!

Huge improvement on placement in the pack. That was a great race and I think you were right, if you really put down the hammer when you caught that group at the end no way they could latch on and get in your draft. Always learning and again great race Ty!!!💪🚲👏

Zracing is set to "no TT bikes" so it must have switched you to another bike - like others said probably the default Zwift basic bike. Well done on tackling a fourth after that! You really got your sprint working there.

If I can, you have to draft better. Great video. Like we say in Italy: grande!!!

Love your videos and your commentary. I don't think you were on a TT bike as you were getting draft all the time. You do need to be further back before the sprint. Let's see what next week brings. It's a very different type of course. keep the vids coming.

I think you need to leave earlier and build up the speed. If you leave the sprint to when you did then you play in to the hands of the sprinters, because they will have significantly more acceleration due to their lower weight. However if you start to stretch them with around a km to go chances are they can't keep up the power, so they might still win if they can but it will probably be a fairer fight. Also you look like you are not staying back enough in the pack. You want to be lining up your head with the bike seat in front of the last man in the bunch. This should give you maximum draft values. Hope this helps. Love the shout out to the Vets. Respect. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiide On!

I could be wrong but it looked like you weren’t even on a TT bike. It might have auto switched you to the Zwift basic bike. At least your character wasn’t acting like he was on a TT bike.

Nice work. If you are having trouble holding your position in the pack use a higher cadence, it makes it much easier to make minor adjustments to your speed, and you can even just use your gears to speed up and slow down whilst keeping your pedalling steady. 90rpm is typical for most people.

je vais essayer de parler anglais mdr . why don't you ever try the sprints and why do you always ride in front? stay further back and you'll save energy!

continu le travail payera😈

Hey was racing with you earlier. Nice stuff dude good luck with the weight loss you're doing great !

Always fun to watch your races Ty, would love if you also could include a like to the ZP race link in the description in the future. Great racing

that was JM drop the hammer at 2km, i beat him to line by like 50m to go i hit the full power with about 450m to go. still your go to plan to go send it at 2km. keep the speed high.

You are awesome. Love your positive attitude. I feel the joy in your voice. If you keep dropping weight you are going to destroy all of us. Keep it up. If I ever see you in a race I know what I am going to do with 2km left to go. Blow myself up to stay on your wheel.

Let’s go brotha🤴🏾

Bro, this is some great race recon info for when I run this in the morning. Well done and thank you 👍

That's impressive riding for such a heavy guy. I crossed the line with you in race two but I'm only 74kg. Love the way you play to your strengths. You've got some power in those legs man! Cheers for sharing and I think I've learnt something about using your momentum before punchy climbs.

I think there is a bug on that Glasgow route. I recall the last time I ran that race I also got the jersey on a sprint segemnt that didn't seem to exist. I saw a bunch of other people state they also got a jersey on that route as well.

You did win the jersey, Zwift uses timing not first past the post, for sprint and kom segments. Your time not surprisingly was faster than everybody else in Glasgow. Castle cringe is correct. Keep showing these.

Keep doing them top man! I believe the guy flying past at the end of Race 1 & 2 was a quality youngster weighing in at 35kg. Plus I seem to recall I had a green jersey and I read there’s an IT glitch - but you were sprinting well!

I like the tiny races to see how we compare!

Great podium, like your videos. You should try and sit right at the back of the bunch. Drop the power up at 400m and hit the power. You will sling shot through the whole pack and be right out front before any react to you. Just another way of doing it.

Nicely done, and congratulations on the podium!

Watch my video from yesterday. I did a really hard sprint at 2km to get separated from the group, and then just tried to hold a big number. I think that will be the move that helps you win on flatter courses.

Hey man, I'm DK in that race, you've got a much better idea (especially having watched the race you've posted after this) of race strategy and your own ability than I have in mine! I really like the way you talk through the vids, it's a great insight into another rider's mind. I was just behind you on the first big descent, I've always found it better to absolutely smash out the power (if you have it) over the crest, get above 60kph and supertuck, let the weight do the rest, everytime you hit a flat or a rise, hit the power again. It gives you a good rest and should just keep increasing the speed downhill. You can usually go faster supertucked than pedalling, it looked like I was hitting pretty similar speeds, but I was putting far less through the pedals. Also you'll find that the group tends to ease off just before race changing sections, so just before that final climb where you got pushed to the front, that's everyone taking a breath to hit the hill hard, but sometimes they'll ease off once they've crested a rise, that's a good time to keep the power on to catch them, it's the only reason I kept with them over the rollers on the final rise. Keep making the vids man, hope something of that helps and apologies if I'm just saying stuff you already know!

Loved the strategy in this one and a well deserved 2nd place. I'm still working out how to use the power ups so really interesting to see how much draft you get. I don't mind what races you do as it's just great to hear the race craft commentary. 😊💪

I love how you are such a student of cycling and racing and looking for all the advantages for your size. Keep it up.

Your awesome thank you for your content I do the tinys ,as well.Im ok in Cs but get destroyed over longer races.love to see you jump into a cat A tiny, you’d do great in the right race.👍👍keep it up

Great racing! As Glenn says I'd also advice to try and stay in the pack more to save energy and then attack, but I guess riding styles must differ since you're almost twice my size. I was in the same race and streamed it if you want to have a look. Keep fighting and trying to figure out what works best for you!

Great riding! I'd advise you to stay off the front in the lead up to the finish line until you've hit that point when you're gonna push all out for the line, every bit of draft helps. The ideal for me is about 250-300 metres but if someone goes before that then i try and tag along with them and only poke my head out on the front with 50-100 metres left. But those guys raced so hard that day that I was struggling to keep up. Another thing, i also never stand up on the bike, I manage to get more power down remaining seated. The few times I've tried it it feels like I'm putting loads of effort down but I only ever got to about 80% of my top power numbers, so no need to worry about that!

Well done on Race 2! 🎉 That was defo close. It's good to hear your thoughts and approach to each race. Keep up the good work. 💪

Solid race there mate. I died a death up the pinch that second time. Been a good couple of races this last few weeks! The power numbers are massive mate - I hadn't quite comprehended the raw Wattage numbers that you're putting out.

Nice recon! I think if you know you lose guys on the hill get a gap in front of them before the hill so that you finish roughly ahead at top of hill. Then you can slot in at the rear and save a lot of watts in the draft so that when it comes to the last down hill you are right with them and your 70kpm will leave them all way behind.

Superb effort, "just" needed to keep the power on down the hill

Nice third 🥉💪

Haha damn at 12.14 you can see where I stopped to plug my laptop in ! Great riding , calculated finish, well deserved podium

Hi! :-) I would use a draft power up to save energy in a group or for tactical advantage - ideally this would be near the end when everyone is pushing on before the sprint giving me a speed boost into my sprint. Other uses would be staying in touch with heavier riders on a descent (I'm 70kg) - Because you've got so much power and more weight than most the draft power up is probably less use to you as you go fast on the downhills and flat anyways. I would even use a draft PU on a shallow climb to help me stay in contact, but I'm not sure that will help you much.

Awesome podium finish!!! 💰💪👏

Doing great TY! These vids are getting slicker too! Most of us C's are feeling the hills on this course, especially with the pace, can't imagine how much harder it is with an extra 100kg+ !!! RIDE ON 😊

Have you clicked the words "Refresh profile" on your Zwiftpower profile? That might help update the points etc

When you are drafting, try and stay just on the back of the main bunch of riders and concentrate to stay there. Thats where you will get max draft. Have to be careful to put power down just before changes in gradient. In these you let gaps appear and then have to burn yourself out to get back on. If you dig a bit deeper when the gaps just start, you have to do so much less to stay on.

Great effort, and a nice result given the nature of that course it is not easy by any stretch. Cheers!

Mate, was a pretty brutal race and that route is horrific. I did it again tonight and got the rollers/rises a bit better this time. The front 7 who went off on the second lap were ringing it. Solid outing. /Yozza.
