Improving Virtual Segments

 A few weeks ago, we rolled out new algorithms to catch impossible efforts upon uploads. Hiding some low-traffic segments is the next step in making the segment experience better for athletes. 

Segments are a huge part of how athletes stay motivated and inspired whether they’re training outdoors or indoors on a platform like Zwift. We’re excited to remove clutter and noise so athletes can experience the segments that matter the most. Here’s what you need to know:

• The least popular virtual ride segments have been made private, but none have been deleted. Any segments you’ve created can be found on the Strava website by selecting Dashboard > My Segments > Created Segments.
• Any newly created virtual ride segments will be private.
• You can still see your own results on any segments you’ve created on your ride activity details page. If you want to see everyone’s effort on a segment that’s been made private, there’s likely a similar, popular public segment that already exists.
