Why does my avatar sometimes look like a ghost?

When an avatar appears like a ghost (translucent), that avatar will not block or provide a draft benefit to others. This happens when: 

  • Your speed is below 10kph to avoid blocking others.
  • In the final 10 seconds of the countdown before an activity starts.
  • In the first 10 seconds of an activity to help you jockey for a position. 
  • You are within 50 meters of being lapped by the leader. 
  • You brake hard to prevent blocking others.
