Nowhere Fast: A Virtual Bike Racing Podcast
Bjoern Ossenbrink's eyes *clap clap* are watching you, they see your every move. Well, kind of, but he does use data analytics to verify virtual racing performances at the high levels of the sport. He joins the pod to talk about the low-cadence craze, power meters and smart trainers, and that one time he raced against KBH. We also try to determine if CrossFit is the Zwift of working out.

The speed of the "blob" has long been annoying in Zwift racing, and with the new pack dynamics being unveiled, will the blob be reined in?
