Zwift "Premium", TR Merger or Add-In speculation

100% confirmation something is happening! Given his loose lips reputation, the deal advisors and other powers that be are temporarily silencing him :wink:

It will not break the infamous episode after the polarized thread.

They probably asked him to stay away from the mic for a while…

This actually sounds like a great one, too bad everyone will just complain about “no comment”

IIRK, the original “volcano” idea actually originated with Sufferfest and the lava fields of Sufferlandria. To that, we probably owe gratitude to David McQuillen (SUF founder), and Eric Min just ripped him off.

Actually, you are under the assumption you can’t take the Peloton class experience to the virtual world.

They might be flooded with questions about “the subject” coming in live. Will the elephant in the room be addressed :thinking:

you mean the blue whale in the room, right?

The question will be answered with Jonathan saying we have heard the rumors but do not know anything about them. That is, of course, if Jonathan can lie.

Orange whale :wink:

I see two major business/product opportunities with the Z acquisition of TR:

  1. [The obvious, and initial offering] Adding TR AT to the Z offering (i.e. the Survey discussion). Potentially lots of introductory and intermediate level Z riders and racers may be interested in such an offering. Of course, they will have to figure out pricing*

  2. Exactly to your point about Z having [a lot of] faster riders [than TR]. As discussed here on the Forum, TR (i.e. Nate) is not targeting self-coach and externally coached athletes (e.g. WC 2.0, advanced metrics, etc). However, I think Z and Eric, specifically, recognize this opportunity. It wouldn’t be using AT on top of Coach Chad’s plans. But it is easy to imagine an enhanced version of AT on top of more common TiZ plans.

*Pricing: Nate’s request for pricing feedback (separate thread) seemed very odd at the time he asked, particularly as he understands product-market fit and did not address this in the thread. What I think [speculate] is taking place is that Eric knows that Nate’s approach to pricing (i.e. grandfathering) doesn’t build volume businesses and that Nate agreed to test the waters on the TR customer base to see what the reaction would be to price adjustments (presumably to consistency across all users regardless of when they joined TR).

AND MORE??
Well if you convert M O R E to numbers you get 13 15 18 5
13 + 13 = 26
15 + 8 = 23
18 - 12 = 6
5 + 15 = 20
Convert all that back to letters you get
26 = Z
23 = W
6 = F
20 = T

ZWFT!!!
