That’s interesting. Being a lighter cyclist, when I try zwift racing I notice it might favor bigger guys. Maybe that’s just an excuse but I do wonder how cyclists body types will change in the future.
I think it is not necessarily that Zwift favors bigger riders. More the shorter races, ~1 hour, that favor bigger riders. Accumlation of climbing fatigue is less prominent (I think). It often comes down to 1 or 2 max efforts.
And yes, curious to see how cycling will evolve. I think we are past the super skinny era. But who knows🤷🏼♂️
