Official Strava Segments

It would be nice for Tacx to create official virtual strava segments for all the climbs that do not currently have one. Since it is no longer possible for users to create public virtual segments.

I used to make most of the Tacx marked strava segments until Strava pulled the feature for VR rides. I think Strava can allow VR segments to be made but this would require Garmin pulling some strings.…

I think Strava can allow VR segments to be made but this would require Garmin pulling some strings. I did request this last year I think, I guess it was not possible....But GArmin could really do something here with Garmin Connect, have Tacx VR & Video Rides have their own sport & segment database...all of a sudden we could have a dedicated clean segment scoreboard that would drive 1000s of Tacx users to start using connect for something other then a bridge to Strava.

Two years ago the upload to Strava included a screenshot with a white profile plus ride title and details.Tacx pulled the screenshot because it was to expensive.The Garmin merge pulled the ride title and details.If it isn’t on Strava it didn’t happen.

I've moved away from Strava now, I only use Garmin Connect. It would be nice if segments could be created in Connect for all the rides especially KOM. Even better if like mentioned in another thread regarding avatars you are able to compete against your self on these segments with a visual cue.

I would like segments, even to compare against my own efforts. Creating a set of private segments on Strava is a chore, and so unnecessary. I don't need or want a buffet of segments but having a list of segments on Strava to mirror the ones on TDA should be a minimum requirement for Tacx/Garmin. :/

Since the focus is on Garmin Connect will be best having "official virtual segments" there, based on activity type as per https://garmin.eventbuilder.com/event/49078 and https://garmin.eventbuilder.com/event/49075
