Would be very amusing if it was actually him.
JP is known as “the Banksy of Strava” – he first turned up a couple of years ago when he took the Box Hill KOM, which was almost instantly flagged but then re-instated. He’s done a few other notable rides and then disappeared before turning up again at Richmond Park a few months ago and blowing all the segments to pieces.
Then there were about 3 rides in Yorkshire on various bits of the Tour routes.
Cycling Weekly ran an article recently trying to guess who JP was. Jack Pullar was mentioned but his race results give him various alibis of being elsewhere. They reckoned it probably wasn’t Lance on the grounds that he’s got too much other stuff going on in his life…
Problem is that the ride data actually matches very well, there’s no evidence of digital epo and the heart rate data is all there to back it up.
Maybe it’s Bradley Wiggins, maybe he’s trying to prove a point in protest at not being included in the Sky Tour squad… 😉
