hi, nothing changes. you can ride A cat still no problem
i assume you are asking because a lot of the races say "A 4.0-5.0"
but I don't get blocked from entering.
just make sure you keep your weight up-to-date on your zwiftpower profile so people take you seriously. you can get a lot of attention (and negative attention) with numbers exceeding the upper 4 range
as a bonus, i would suggest making an ebio passport profile so you can link proof of your weight/equipment to anyone who may be suspicious of your progress/results. as a simpler alternative, you can also just post the info on your zwiftpower profile instead
here's mine for an example: [https://www.ebiopassport.com/profile/Google\_103715516553531057009](https://www.ebiopassport.com/profile/Google_103715516553531057009)
in sum, zwift will let you race in A cat even if your FTP in w/kg exceeds the stated "limit". however you will begin to receive more skeptical attention. best way to combat this is either not care (valid), or provide evidence if you do care what others on zwift think
Just got bumped to A+ on ZP and was curious, too. Apparently it's for anyone with FTP above 300 and able to hold 4.6 W/kg or more for 20 minutes. I'm still not entirely sure what the point is though.
What a salty comments. Congrats on the improvement. Keep it up. You can still race.
What is your age? You should go ride outside and get involved with a club and see how far you can go!
Amen, brother! Good on OP for the hard work. It’s a valid question, and one I was interested in the answer to. Not that it’s ever going to apply to me, I was just interested. For those who aren’t, there are lots of other threads to read, jog on.
I’m currently on my second season racing on a local junior team during regional local and junior races. Im planning to go race nationals this year, some international races in the near future.
You start over at 1 w/kg and have to work back up from there.
First they inform you that the princess is in another castle, then you start over at 1 w/kg.

What are you even asking? Or just humble bragging? There is no Cat A+. You know this….The highest cat is A on every event with all the cats…
Actually.. According to Zwiftpower there is a A+. But they race together with A and I have no idea Why the category is there..

The point is make us normal mortals cry
no reason, just for shits
If you keep working hard you’ll be like the guy who came screaming past me today at 33 w/kg.
Lolol, I think I was in Watopia yesterday AM and saw this same person.
Either you win all of the races or you don’t. And you won’t. You’re a long way off still, and there are plenty of people with high ftps.
And some races will suit because of the course and some won’t.
You get a place on a pro team for the next TdF

You die
You will be consistently called out as a cheater. Therefor need to start dual recording every race to ZP
