Your journey from local amateur to world tour champion
TPV Career Mode is a community-driven progression system for TrainingPeaks Virtual (TPV) racing. We transform individual race results into an immersive career experience where every pedal stroke counts toward your journey through the ranks of virtual cycling.
Think of it as your virtual cycling career simulator - complete with progressive challenges, competitive standings, awards, and a vibrant peloton of AI-powered competitors who keep the racing exciting from Event 1 through to the season finale.
Your career progresses one race at a time. Complete Event 1 to unlock Event 2. Master Event 2 to tackle Event 3. Each event builds on your performance, creating a genuine sense of progression and achievement.
Points aren't just handed out - they're earned through smart racing:
Race against a diverse field of AI competitors powered by real TrainingPeaks Virtual data. These aren't just static names - they're riders with unique strengths, weaknesses, and racing styles. High-rated climbers dominate hilly courses, while sprinters excel in flat criteriums.
Our intelligent backfilling system ensures every bot competes in every event (through simulation when needed), so the season-long standings reflect true performance, not just who showed up most often.
Your profile page tells the complete story of your racing career:
Season 1 features 9 carefully selected events spanning the full spectrum of virtual cycling:
Events are carefully ordered to introduce challenges gradually. Early events establish your baseline, mid-season races test your development, and late-season events crown the champion.
Over 200 AI-powered competitors populate the field, each with:
Whether you're racing against "The Mountain Crusher" Sarah Chen (1450 ARR) or the developing talent of newcomer Mike Johnson (850 ARR), every competitor adds depth to your racing experience.
The standings page shows how you stack up against the entire peloton. Thanks to our bot backfilling system, every competitor shows the same number of completed events, making the leaderboard a true measure of performance excellence.
Your position is earned through consistent strong performances. Beat high-rated riders, exceed predictions, and accumulate points through skill - not just participation.
Race results are automatically processed through our GitHub Actions workflow. Upload a CSV from TrainingPeaks Virtual, and within minutes your profile updates with new points, unlocked events, and earned medals.
Our prediction algorithm analyzes the field's Event Ratings to forecast finishing positions. Beat your prediction significantly, and you'll earn valuable bonus points.
Google authentication provides secure, seamless access to your career. Your TrainingPeaks Virtual UID links your TPV results to your Career Mode profile without requiring your TPV credentials.
TPV Career Mode is a passion project built by virtual cycling enthusiasts for virtual cycling enthusiasts. We're constantly improving the experience based on community feedback and racing data.
