Now that you have clearer ideas about what is the remoergometer I would like to talk about the races and the ranking of Concept2, because yes, let's face it, it can be nice to rowing to keep fit, but it's even better to be able to compare with the whole world and maybe discover that "cabbage is not that bad."
You can see all the results simply by logging onto site of the 2 concept and from here start to comb through the times.
Ah! I almost forgot not to be scared if your times are not comparable to those of the first in the standings !! Many of them are professional rowers!

HOW TO LOAD THE TIMES ON THE CONCEPT 2 WEBSITE?
If before reaching this part of the article you have already checked the ranking, maybe you are wondering how to load your times.
This is also very easy, enough register on the site e download the PC app. Then you need to have one USB flash drive (about 2GB is fine) from insert posteriorly to the monitor of the remoergometer (only if it is a PM4 or PM5 model) where the data will be loaded which will then be transferred to the PC and the game is done. In this way you can compare yourself with the whole world of rowing.
If instead you need a real comparison and to see your opponents in the eyes know that there is a championship or races held in one day.
