Rouvy issue - Power and Cadence correct, speed WAY off. Anyone?

Posted this in the wrong forum. Moving it here.
Rouvy issue - Power and Cadence correct, speed WAY off. Anyone?

I know what my speed is supposed to look like based on power, cadence, gradient etc. numbers in real life.

In Rouvy:
- climbing = good
- flat = fast (no way that I would be doing 3w/kg and moving at over 35kmh)
- downhill = stupid fast even not spinning

I have noticed this issue when my wife riding the same route with me, all of a sudden started getting dropped and i would finish the route (lets say 50km) 5-10 minutes ahead? Her average speed would be 30ish kmh and my 35kmh.
Any ideas? If we were not riding together, who cares, but in case I would like to see proper numbers.

Me = Kicker Core, correct weight and height checked
Her = Tacx Flux S, correct weight and height checked

It was noted that this could be due to height issues (188cm and 156cm) and it would make sense how this would affect outdoor riding and be null indoors. But I still dont believe that my flat and downhill speed is correct, or maybe I am stronger than I think I am once wind is removed
