Already while watching some more, I came across the this view into the 'pain cave' where you see what the rider sees on his TV. Most of them probably don't have TV, just laptop I suppose. This is gonna cost many folks a bundle if this should catch on and Zwift stock should rise sky high. Wonder if this virtual racing mode will die off with the virus or will continue to live on. Probably it doesn't have many viewing fans since nobody is replying here?
If it should take off, we could have a new racer breed who would race only in virtual world. Go out for training rides but race only in virtual races. One big advantage over real outdoor racing is the assured absence of 'road rash', total safety and not just from virus.
Another question, how is it with coasting downhill? I've seen in the video occasional rider avatar stopping spinning pedals and wonder if that means the real rider did freewheel at that moment? But most kept pedaling all during downhill ride, unlike in real outdoor race.
