In this case, am I supposed to take your word for what happened or trust ultra high precision satellites? I think we all know the answer. My guess is that he did an early breakaway that you didn't notice and never managed to catch up. It happens. Try to ride near the front and be more attentive next time.

OP if you're that competitive that you care about correct recording of your group ride 'attacks', it's time to pin a number on and ride against some others who care about winning. Your group ride buddies probably just let you ride on your own while they concoct schemes for doctoring their Strava files to mess with your head.
