Racing should reward tactical prowess, not mere luck. Let's focus on fostering a system that values strategy and adaptation, not just button-mashing at the start. #CyclingCommunity #ZwiftRacing #SkillOverChaos ‍

Isn’t it ridiculous how some racers treat the start like it’s a grand tour, while others tiptoe through? Why should we accept this madness? Does this chaotic mix really showcase talent, or just amplify the noise? How can we expect genuine competition when the start line becomes a circus? What if the real issue isn’t just the speed, but the lack of accountability and structure that leads to this absurdity? Can't we do better?
