Some guy in Texas keeps taking out my Fulgaz KOMs.
His rides average around 130W and 50km/hr. Regardless of terrain.
Can't wait to get my account suspended by Strava for repeatedly flagging him! I've heard of this happening to a few guys - apparently you get a 'we cannot account for the data input in a virtual activity'. Well, no, but surely 15 seconds of looking at someone's data can tell you there's something seriously wrong with it.
The risks of internet glory. Always transient.
Strava is appears hopeless at any sort of auditing of flagged rides.
it appears they do not examine the data at all.
A road ride by a rider I know was was flagged by some idiot recently.
At a cycling event with a ride time displayed in the ride photos and average wattage displayed.
The rider in question is a national level rider who has won National level events and has raced in Europe.
This was not a race.
I emailed them complaining about the flag with the suggestion "if you spent 5 min and looked at the ride you would see it is genuine"
I believe he had to upload it again.
It is a recording system and nothing more. They do not care about the legitimacy or otherwise of any koms
