No Strava segment falls under the rules of USAC (unless made during a USAC race), which is why they are fair.
Here are two race examples among many and not just gearing, but this is a Strava Thread, not a race one.
My opinion is on this hilly race #2, a junior, could have made up the 3 sec and have been on the top step if he did not have limited gears.

After 10 hours maybe 30 sec could have been saved?
