#603 - Training Peaks Virtual and Rouvy

The online virtual cycling episode in which we discuss Rouvy's purchase of FulGaz plus the acquisition of indieVelo by TrainingPeaks. We share excerpts from The TrainingPeaks CoachCast with Dirk Friel - TrainingPeaks Virtual: Redefining Indoor Cycling and Training with indieVelo creator George Gilbert and TrainingPeaks President Lee Gerakos. They discuss the reasoning behind the acquisition of the virtual riding platform, the possibilities for coaches and athletes and how the ethos of credible virtual racing is a part of the DNA of the merger.  Nicole Stirling won the free race entry to IRONMAN Australia. We find out more about her.
