Many thanks for your suggestion, and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
To confirm, the TrainingPeaks Virtual physics engine already takes into account the height and weight of riders, so - to use your example - you will already experience a higher drafting effect when sitting behind a larger rider.
All that is currently missing is the graphical representation of that.

An error occurred while saving the comment Personally, I hate it when my Garmin tells me there is a segment coming up; but I do like comparing them after the event. As long as they are low-key or optional during the ride, then why not.

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.
An error occurred while saving the comment Absolutely not. I want my rides to reflect my riding ability, not whether I can deploy a powerup (or banana skin) at the optimum time.
IndieVelo / TPVs main differentiator is the honesty of the riding experience, please don't take that away from us. -

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.

Many thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
As another commenter has noted, TrainingPeaks Virtual is currently not legally able to add support for the Elite Sterzo. When we are able to however, we intend to do so.
"...you will already experience a higher drafting effect when sitting behind a larger rider...All that is currently missing is the graphical representation of that."
I had no idea.
If there is no graphical representation of actual in-event physics, then draft advantage is a matter of chance. So this erodes the TPV realism and level playing field.
