All this talk of Zwift using TR features. Iād be happy if TR licensed Zwiftās power based mileage! The totally meaningless Strava speed/distance totals of TR always make me sad.

Zwift kmās pretty meaningless too! I always use them because theyāre higher - strava club charts!

Can we NOT head down the speed / distance rabbit hole here, please?
Take it to any of the 50+ topics already in place:

My gut feel is this is probably quite likely, at least near term - quite easy to do on both sides and nicely complimentary to both (TR gets access to extra revenue from Zwift users and Zwift makes a massive improvement in their workout/training plans).
Zwift is fun like, but thereās pretty important feature requests on there which have not been dealt with for years, such as the example already given about saving your ride quitting the game for example. And the check marks to see which routes youād completed have only fairly recently been added - before the only way to do it was start the game and check which route badges you didnāt have, then quit and restart the whole game due to the āsave rideā issue! Or use a 3rd party service like Veloviewer.
I agree it seems like Zwift has a huge mountain of technical debt, otherwise the explanation for why stuff doesnāt get fixed seems pretty weak. TR on the other hand is much more dynamic and responsive (helps the app is obviously a lot simpler).
What if all this talk about merging with Zwift is to distract us from the discussions they had with Peleton of them buying TR out? Keeping us off the ball of their true secret intentions
So pick a different cog? This argument or gripe seems to make zero sense whatsoever. I do .8 IF for 5hours on TR, itās 120miles. Which, would be the same as where I and ride outside (itās Flat). Versus I do .8 IF in the mountains for 5hours and its 100miles. Who cares? And Zwift translating that into āmileageā is just as meaningless. You do a flat route? Itās faster. Do you a hilly route? Itās slower. You can fix this in TR based on your gearing. Either way, itās irrelevant.

@kellenhassell (and anyone else) Please, no more talk about speed or distance here. See my post above. There are numerous places to take that discussion. It is very Off-Topic and not needed here.

As a legacy TR customer I better get all access to any new Zwift integration at no additional cost!

I fully agree - Oh ! and legacy customers should be given free shares in this new merged TR/Zwift organization

Maybe but I donāt feel like that level of a discussion required Eric Min to fly to Reno to have an in person discussion.

It would be a massive change to zwift. Lots of in person meetings between companies arenāt really needed but still happens

Yeah, even at a modest level of sharing possible, this would be a BIG deal (the 2 biggest players in the market working together?) and would be totally appropriate for face-to-face, but that is just me.

I also see it as a sign of respect that Eric went to Reno to meet TR.
This sounds like a GoJo deal, which is less of an merger and more of a acquisition that may reshape the leadership of Waystar Royco.
