Please anybody, tell me how this is possible. My riding buddy confirmed his sector speed at 38km/h. I dropped him so we assume my speed was about 42km/h. According to strava my speed was.....7,8km/h. What!!!! 2nd time for this sector strava has done this so really no miscalc on our side. There are no obstructions to clear gps signal. Any explainations?

I have never had issues. It must be your phone. It might be slow.

Did you hang about either the start or end of the segment for any length of time?

And your buddy? Whenever I notice a "dodgy" activity on Strava, it's 99% of the time from a smartphone and not a from an actual GPS like Garmin, Polar, etc.

Create another account on another phone, take your phone and the other phone. Ride with them together and see where the fault lies. Im almost certain its your phone...
