AI ride breakdown: what it can do
The coach reads your ride from the numbers, compares it to your own baseline, and answers questions.
The star button in the ride header opens the breakdown. The app derives two dozen metrics from the track — turns and hairpins separately for left and right, stalls on climbs, hard stops, heart-rate zones, the surface of each kilometer — and the coach explains those.
Event day breakdown. When you open the breakdown from an event screen, the coach takes all your rides for that day together — for example, a track from a file and a recording from your watch. Breaks between rides count neither as stops nor as transfers. If a ride is added to that day, you can get the day breakdown again, now including it.
Comparison with past rides at the same place. If you have ridden here in the last 120 days (at least 40% of the route in common), the coach compares today’s ride with those: moving average, left and right turns, technical time, heart rate. On shared sections it compares times, and if you rode laps — the best pass and the number of passes. If at least three other riders have ridden here, it shows where you stand against them: median and range, with no names and no one else’s heart rate. Your rides likewise go into the anonymous summary for others unless your passport is hidden (profile → “Privacy” → “Who sees the rider passport” — “Nobody”). The coach keeps in mind that weather, ground and bike may have been different. You can also ask “compare with my last ride here” in the chat of an older breakdown.
Why the breakdown is specific to you:
- It knows your baseline — average numbers over your recent rides. So instead of “decent pace” you read “left turns at 8.2 km/h against your usual 12.9”.
- It remembers past advice and checks whether it worked, instead of repeating the same thing over and over.
- It sees the surface: speed on a paved transfer doesn’t count as technique; the off-road is what gets analyzed.
- At the end — one measurable task for the next ride, always about technique: “hold 10 km/h or more in left hairpins (8.2 today)”.
Ask the coach. Under the breakdown there’s a question field: why the lefts are worse, which drill to do, is this fatigue or technique. It answers based on your own ride and remembers the conversation. Three questions per breakdown are free.
Rebuild. The breakdown is saved and opens instantly. If the ride’s data changed — elevations arrived, a watch track was added — the “Rebuild breakdown” button under the text builds it anew from the fresh data.
It will break down a ride without heart rate too, but notes that it can’t see the load: speed alone can’t tell “physically hard” from “technically hard”. A watch fixes that — see the Garmin article.
