EVENTS: Add a second cadence sensor as backup
As it seems that there is zero tolerance from the performance verification when a cadence signal dropout occurs, and as cadence sensors are really cheap devices, I think it can be really helpful to be able to pair 2 cadence sensors so we have a backup in case of something going wrong and the PV will not kick us from the race.

Many thanks for your suggestion, and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
I'm delighted to say that there have been many improvements over the past 6 months since this issue was raised. These include making the pairing more stable & reliable, decreasing the sensitivity to drop outs, and reducing the penalty for not having cadence data when an event requires it to just putting the brakes on, enabling you to fix the issue rather than being automatically removed from the event.
Whilst we will continue to work on improving Performance Verification, now seems like a good time to close this wider issue. Further suggestions for how to make TrainingPeaks Virtual even better are warmly welcomed though - please just raise a new issue and we can take a look!

I think allowing backups of each PV sensor would be wise - Cadence, HR, and PWR.
Having backups for the rest of the sensors that don’t factor into PV are don’t cares for me though.

A sweet idea because we know there are riders with no intention in cheating
Thanks for considering 😉
