One point four W/kg!!! What kind of bull is that? What's the point?
I think they use some "tricks" to face high workloads on servers, and sometimes this generates unexpected behavior. I remember 3 times I wanted to get rid of a few riders who were drafting me. So, during descents, I shifted to big gears and I input some 5 - 6 w/kg for 10-20 seconds, at highest cadence. One or two guys simply remained "stitched" to me, although they continued to input 1.5-1.7 w/kg. Then, when I tried to draft them with the same 1.5-1.7 w/kg, they dropped me hard with the same 1.5-1.7 w/kg. Like a "punishment"

I prefer something more realistic, even if it's not perfect...
