So glad you had Alex on! I also use Trainer Road for Enduro and really appreciated his insights. One thing I have noticed over time is that TR (and any fitness app) significantly underestimates the TSS associated with shuttle days/bike park sessions -it was affirming to hear him describe that a bike park day for him is similar to a 5 hour road ride. I really struggled through the season to balance the fitness and skill aspects of the sport - this was helpful, thank you for having him on!
Monsieur Rudeau, Merci tres beaucoup de partager vos régimes personnels avec nous. No wonder you are World Enduro Champion. You train so hard, in every way, all the time! Glad you sometimes enjoy "moto trail" riding-- because "All work and no play can make life as dull as ditchwater." Felicitations! Sounds like you truly earned and deserved your victory.
Does the TR AI consider the non pedaling power (pumping) output/work of someone riding enduro/DH/BMX style riding, it seems to only take in consideration pedaling power output, as when I ride with a power meter my calory burn and TSS is quite low compared to the HR based energy consumption estimation. Seems enduro racing would be a good case for AI to smartly analyze both of these metrics and choose to intelligently take some TSS/Cal from either source where appropriate. e.g. when pedaling up the hill utilize the power meter for TSS/Cal and then during the descent look at the speed combined with continued elevated HR data to make the decision to use HR for energy consumption then combine both to get a more accurate representation of the demands of Enduro/DH/BMX.
As of now it isn't taking into account the non-pedaling stress as there is no objective way to measure that. HR is tricky as well, as if you just rely on that you are not guaranteed to increase the accuracy of a guess.

So great to hear! The difficulty of Enduro and DH is so hard to quantify.
