1. HUB: Apple TV Bluetooth connection limitation

   Are there plans to introduce a phone app that can act as a sensor bridge to get past the Apple TV limitation of only being able to pair two devices? Have an older smart trainer with no cadence sensor built-in so have to forego the HRM pairing.

2. MECHANICS: Increase Climbing Rating Importance for Races with Significant Climbs

   Summary:
   When calculating event ratings for races that include categorized climbs (Cat 4, Cat 3, Cat 2, Cat 1, or HC), the algorithm should place substantially more weight on a rider's climbing rating rather than relying heavily on TT and Endurance ratings. This would create more balanced competition in hilly/mountainous races.

   Problem:
   Currently, the event rating system appears to favor Time Trial and Endurance abilities in any longer race, even in races with significant climbing. This leads to several issues: Climbers with lower overall ratings but strong climbing abilities are placed in lower pens than appropriate. Larger/heavier riders with strong TT/Endurance ratings are placed in higher pens despite climbing limitations. Race predictions become inaccurate (predicting top-5 finishes for riders who realistically can't achieve this on climbs). Some riders avoid climbing-heavy races due to poor pen placement.

   Proposed Solution:
   While I understand some weighting already exists, I propose a more substantial emphasis on climbing rating. Significantly increase the importance of climbing rating whenever a race includes categorized climbs. Use the established climb categorization formula (distance × gradient²) to determine how much weight to give climbing ability:

   600+ points – hors catégorie

   300-600 points – 1st category

   150-300 points – 2nd category

   75-150 points – 3rd category

   Up to 75 points – 4th category

   I would advocate that races with a cat 3 or higher climb, climbing rating should be the primary or sole factor. Any race with a cat 4 climb it should still be the primary factor.

   Example: The first climb in the Marathon route: 9.9km long and gradient of 5.7%. (9.95.75.7)=321 or Category 1

   Benefits:
   More accurate race predictions and event ratings. Improved racing experience as riders compete against others with similar climbing abilities. More participation in climbing-focused events. Better bot selection for riders to train and race with.
   For races with multiple climbs, the cumulative impact should be considered when determining how heavily to weight climbing ability in the event rating.

   Summary:
   When calculating event ratings for races that include categorized climbs (Cat 4, Cat 3, Cat 2, Cat 1, or HC), the algorithm should place substantially more weight on a rider's climbing rating rather than relying heavily on TT and Endurance ratings. This would create more balanced competition in hilly/mountainous races.

4. FITFILES: Stop Virtual from auto-saving to TP account.

   After a ride Virtual asks me if I want to discard the ride (I assume to stop it syncing to my TP account) but it ignores me and auto-saves to TP anyway. Then when a sync my watch to Garmin Connect (which is linked to TP) I have two workouts in my account for the one ride. It's easy enough to delete one but my TP account is also linked to WKO as well. The discard my ride button is ignoring me.

6. EVENTS: Custom event pacebot

   What if you could customise a pace bot... no rubber band but any other bots added to the event stick with the pacer.

   Options for the bot:

   1. progression - ramps up over the duration of the event
   2. Workout - follows a workout from your collection (this is the gamified workout ticked off)
   3. Climber - hit climbs hard and recovery on descents / flat
   4. Sprints - ride easy with intermittent sprints
   5. Fartlek - random intervals of varying length and intensity

   Sure other people can add some more ideas. Weight and FTP of the bot should also be customisable to match your workout needs.

7. UI/UX: w/kg

   I understand that you don't want to show w/kg for the riders around you and I understand your reasoning. However, on my bike computer in real life I have my power data set to display as w/kg NOT a power number. It would be nice to have this as an option in the HUD display of my data that others can't see. I think others have also moved away from viewing a power number and instead use w/kg. Again it would be nice to have this as a power option in the displays that are private to the user.

   Many thanks for this more nuanced suggestion, and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.

   We've deliberately not declined this one and will add it to the list of suggestions to consider in more detail. Whilst the general position remains that we deliberately choose not to publish this metric, it potentially could be displayed for yourself only (and be blank when viewing other riders) as an option in the custom UI.

8. MECHANICS: Gamify it!

   Add some dopamine boosting elements:
   - some kind of bonuses (not necessarily like Zwift ones)
   - achievements
   - some bonuses for riding through gates
   - live ranking of segments
   - checkboxes / stats of completed routes
   - ranks / levels
   - etc

   Many thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.

   In general, some degree of gamification can be good, but we need to be careful not to go too far - for example, we would not want to do anything that encouraged an athlete to train when it would be better for them to be resting etc.

   It's therefore an area we will certainly be looking at, but at this stage it's unclear what changes we may or may not make.

9. UI/UX: Bot Identification

   You recently declined a persons suggestion (on/off toggle to identity bots)

   This after event scenario does zero to help during a group ride, event, etc. to be able to chat with other riders, ask questions, etc. We need to know Bots from real humans DURING the activity.
   Today's group ride, several riders seemed frustrated to who was a real human and who wasn't. This was a group ride, not a race, so being able to 'talk' is something leisurely riders like to do.
   It is hard to ask a rider to come back to the group or help them to know how to handle a hill or chase, etc. when that 'rider' may simply be a Bot off the back or a Bot attacking out front (yes, Passive Bots will surge ahead).
   Please reconsider have some way to tell who is real and who is a Bot.
   Thanks

10. Pause heart rate verification if not riding!

    Please pause the heart rate verification in a race with 0 watts or cadence! I'm constantly getting warnings in a race when coasting down a big hill as my heart rate quickly drops quite low when not riding. Tonight I was kicked from a hare and hounds race as I had to wait 2.5 minutes before I could start and my heart rate slowed down too much. I didn't see any warning until I started riding and instantly was kicked.

15. EVENTS: Event series with consistent bots in each race

    I like TPV so far and can see enormous potential for bespoke tours populated by bots. If we could invite specific bots to races - and even series - then we could build a full grand tour with 159 bots and one human user. If I have to run an excel spreadsheet to keep track of cumulative GC rankings then ok but obviously if TPV provided a running leaderboard throughout the series then I’d be giddy.

    Even better would be to have all those bots - and the human - in teams with a sprinter, a climber, a TT specialist, etc, and have them work for their leader if they have a strong GC rider among them. It feels like you’re only a couple of steps away from sort of replicating pro cycling manager with a smart trainer. Any developments toward this and I’ll be in “take my money” territory with TPV.

16. UI/UX: ATV UI Friendly

    Currently UI is designed for computer or mobile device, but probably favors a keyboard and mouse interface more than touch due to all the options and drop down menus. This request is specific for Apple TV UI with the remote.

    Problem statement: Current UI is not easy to navigate using the Apple remote.

    Suggestion: A simplify UI for Apple TV remote user such that it is easier to navigate. Blockiness Icons, carousel scroll, etc.

    This simplification of UI can also have limited features such as only riding features (Ride, workout, joining events) and removal of the more complex event creation, team management, and all the other advanced options in settings and profile.

17. MECHANICS: Sprint segments and PR's

    I would really love to have visual sprint PR's and segments in the TPV routes. How Zwift has implemented it is really nice. Would be a great feature for me and could be a nice motivator during free riding/group rides/races.

19. UI/UX: Get asked if you want to finish the ride after workout completed

    Scenario would apply to a planned workout ride:
    Would it please be possible to get asked (via a PopUp) if one wants to finish the workout once its completed or to continue the ride.

    This would make it a lot easier and intuitive to end the workout once its completed without having to find the "end ride" button within the "menu" navigation.

20. EVENTS: Integrated Discord Voice Channel support

    Discord voice channels are widely used by indoor cycling teams and it would be very useful to have Integrated Discord Voice Channel support built in TrainingPeaks Virtual. And for example, it could be also used by team managers during the races and also as general voice chat in group and group training rides.

    As we are at it, also Discord text channel support could be very convinient in prepearing events and managing teams.
