I posted this thread here, not in the racing forum, because I think, while it is competition, it is not racing.
Racing cares about how the rider is on that day, against the others that show up, that day, under set rules.
Strava records what was done on the riders best day, under the best conditions under honor bound guidelines vs everyone else in the same situation.
Did you know who Phil Gaimon was before Strava? Some did, but they were few.
Cool awards for Strava results.
It is a competition. It makes people money and they get cool awards.
