if it's been a while since you've zwift raced, the cats are significantly easier now than they used to be. The steps aren't as bad. 2 years ago B>A was nigh on impossible. Last year it was hard. This year, winning B's puts me in the group through the race in all but the hardest and climb-y-est races.
And It's not because i'm getting stronger (which I am..) but mainly due to the number of people and the better organized race scene. My season have bounced back and forth between B and A and can definitely say the cats are easier than they used to be.
