An error occurred while saving the comment Love this idea! I use the passive bots for this and it helps, but I think just being able to race against easier bots would be better (in unranked events)

Many thanks for the suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
Whilst it's unlikely that we'll do exactly this as there are a number of drawbacks from anchoring, the general point you make about ensuring that the rankings are a useful way of categorising humans against each other (as opposed to it being more of a reflection of humans against bots) is a good one and we'll take a look at how best to do that.

When you join a team race on TPV, you are often with bot teammates. This is a great tool for filling out teams, but currently the bots don't seem to know that they have teammates. It would be great if they had some simple rules so as a human you could rely on them to make certain decisions while racing. This would also help the all-bot teams you are racing against perform better. Here are some ideas for teammate behavior:
1. Bots work for, or are deferential to, higher rated teammates
2. If a bot is in the lead group with a higher rated teammate, they should work harder or attack. Also, if any bot is in a group with the highest rated teammate, they should work harder and chase down attacks
3. If a lower rated bot is in a group ahead and their highest rated teammate is in a group behind, they should not work, but they should follow attacks.
4. If a higher rated teammate attacks, they should not follow
Having some simple rules for team work like this would really improve the team dynamics in races and make team racing feel more authentic. These are probably not perfect rules, but the basics of doing work that benefits the highest rated teammate is what I am going for.
