Anybody have thoughts on Zwift now allowing steering (through a device that it profits from along with Elite) in races? The fact that you cornering doesn't affect speed (even on hairpins at very high speed) would seem to allow someone with steering to choose lines that cut a fair bit of distance off from the line the computer chooses for the pack, but the fact that you can't bump other riders out of the way and have to find a gap to get directly behind someone to get their draft (as opposed to just maintaining the right speed to be part of the blob for nonsteerers) might take away some of that advantage. My setup doesn't allow me to use their steering device, so it's sort of a moot point for me.
