There's a well known, Grand-Tour-Podium ex-pro living a couple towns over from me, who owns the Strava KOM on every climb above Cat 3 for 50+ miles. I don't question his motivation for doing that, and know that he could hang onto a lot of those medals even if some of the younger pros around here (and there are a few) bothered to try and contest them. I'm quite sure he could beat me and most people I ride with towing Tyler's dog (and probably his own too) up any of them.
