Of course, there still are a million variables (drag of the rider/bike, drafting other riders, micro-gusts, cars passing, etc etc), but it at least helps you identify when a ride was done with a massive prevailing tailwind.
Oh, yeah, I've been using that wind analysis tool for awhile. Interesting info. But I mean Strava should adopt it into their metrics as well.
Of course if they did a local woman pro would hold several prized KOMs, not just QOMs, because many of her efforts either lack any tailwind or were into headwinds. And that would hurt our dainty masculine feelings.
