My free trial of TP Premium finishes tomorrow. I just connected TP to my Elemnt Bolt and did a Sync which I assume copies all the files from the GPS to TP? There is one particular ride that I want to examine the power data for. That is a ride that I did in Scotland on my cousin's bike, which had power cranks fitted. It was that ride with a stiff climb halfway that got me interested in measuring power and perhaps making a more serious effort to get fit. I'll see if I can work out how to look at the power data later. I think that the climb was a bit too short to use to calculate my FTP. I remember that I was doing about 225-275 W for the whole climb but I guess that it only lasted about 15 minutes.

tpv worked very well for me tonight in race with well over 100 in it , no issues , well apart from getting freight trained by steen steaming passed me near the finish line ,I knew I was in trouble when the little kicker near the end where I thought I would get a lead , he was looming on my shoulder , but it was good to know someone - also Andy Macca was in the race , an old bkool user who flits around the apps , alway nice to see

Bit of a panic as my HRM-Dual didn't pair at all, so had to go inside to get my trusty old ANT+ only Garmin hardstrap from 2008 - 4 minutes before the start.
Watch the crucial seconds of our finish here:

Are these TPV (or Zwift) videos being recorded by TPV (or Zwift) itself, or by something else?

Individuals film themselves I believe - sometimes the race organisers film it and even commentate on race , sometimes the team film it
Great if you do well , not so hot when bloody Great Danes leave you in dust

A lot of people use OBS (Open Broadcasing Software). I use it for my Zwift/TPv live streams on my Macbook.
You can't do it on Apple TV - not surprisingly. On the iPad I used to screen record then upload, but that was tedious.

Ah, I installed that on my Windows laptop years ago. I played with it a couple of times but have never used it since.

I watched this long video this afternoon of someone trying TPV for the first time...
The YouTuber is very enthusiastic about what he sees of the platform, and I can see why. I wish that it had occurred to him earlier to switch his inset window to the opposite side of the screen!

I recorded the last few minutes of a Group Ride today to show the difference in quality between this and my last PC. Quite pleased with it.

Currently doing first free ride; initial thoughts;
Good UI - annoying with apple TV remote but that's not their fault. Easy to get started
HUD very very good- lots of data but not too busy, much better info on cadence and power in ride, draft indicator and map all very good; very similar to zwift but better.
General riding experience; a bit meh? Riding a free ride up a climb, graphics blocky, very few riders about. Fairly similar to RGT but with a few more positives. Will need to do a race to test the physics as they sound like a real plus, and in truth I rarely do that many free rides.

One thing to get used to is the breaking into corners - saves energy if you spot it, wastes if you don't lol - much more realistic than Zwift as speed is appropriately reduced so you have to power out of corners and if you don't gaps can appear. I like that feature.
I like the drafting too, more realistic feel than Zwift. The wind also a nice touch.
#Negatives is compared to zwift it's sparse of riders and those who are there feel like robots. Hopefully as people's subs on Zwift expire more will give it a go and it gets momentum.
Certainly better value though than Zwift at £180 a year vs free

Yeah I think RGT had a similar cornering dynamic, seemed easy enough to get into. Will need to try a race to see though. Yes for free there's not much to complain about!
