Strava relies on respect of those that ride alike. There is no pretense of compliance. It is honor. You do it right, or you don't. As I posted the big segments top page on Strava are more legit than USAC races.
Example: The the rider who won Redlands Pro Road Tour in 2015 was not handicapped, 2nd place was (52X14 max). I think #2 on same equipment would have won.

Doge's world view is all about his kid. He didn't like the fact that junior had to race against adults under (unfair) USAC gearing rules, and no one took notice of or remembers junior's race results. On the other hand, junior presently owns one (or more?) KOMS on Strava, so that's why Strava segments are now "more legit" than race results.
