How to register and take part in a specific stage?
Are you going to participate for the first time? For registration you need:
1) “friend” the Zwift companion “Serge Faber [UTT]”
2) write @Faberovich in telegram, indicating the type of your machine and a link to Strava or Zwiftpower, after which you will be assigned a category (A / B / C / W) in accordance with your performance.
Group A – 4.0w/kg and 250w ftp
Group B – 3.2w/kg and 200w ftp
Group C – 2.5w/kg and 150w ftp
Group W – women’s group
3) After assigning a group one day before the start of the next race, you will receive an invitation to the race from the pacemaker of the corresponding group. Accept it.
4) On the day of the start, during the warm-up, be exactly on the map where the race will take place.
A few basic racing rules:
• Mandatory presence of a heart rate monitor.
• Ban in racing on the use of “powerups”
• Open Strava and Zwiftpower account (How to link Zwift and ZwiftPower ==> link here)
• Correct group selection according to your absolute watts and watts/kg and gender.
• We are for fair racing, so if cheating is suspected, we will ask you for a Log file from Zwift. We ask you to treat this as if the checkout in the store asked for your passport, because you look too good for your age.
• Due to the fact that at the start the participants are very scattered, the first ~1.5 km will be neutralized: the group will ride ~1.5 W/kg.
