An extraordinary performance, to the point that an application specializing in sports activities finds it suspicious.
This is the feat achieved by the Slovak cyclist Tadej Pogacar, winner of the Tour of Flanders this Sunday after a masterful race.
Thanks to a dazzling acceleration in the last ascent of Vieux Kwaremont, the man with two Tours de France dropped his rivals Mathieu van der Poel and Wout Van Aert and offered himself the “Ronde” for the first time, the fourth Monument of her career.

His hyper-fast lap times were deemed inconsistent by Strava, the app used by millions of athletes around the world to record their race times.
No doubt the mass reports of a handful of users have something to do with it.
Anyway, the platform quickly rehabilitated Pogacar's scores, again accessible to the general public.
“
I suspect Mathieu Mathieu Van der Poel

Winner last year, "MVDP" had to settle for second place.
Overwhelmed, too, by the speed of the extraterrestrial Pogacar.
