[Closed] Is this just coincidence or have i upset a strava preacher

I only use strava for keeping a running total of distance travelled but the other day i got a KOM. It turns out that the street i chose to do a 1 min power blast at the end of my ride must have had a segment in it and i took the KOM by 5 secs (it is only 51sec section). Its a residential street that has no redeeming feature at either end of it so i was surprised there was even a segment for it. I looked in to it and there have only been 227 recorded entries and the top 10 hasnt changed in over a year and i am not quick so i reckon its just a street that nobody bothers with. To my surprise after only 2 days i got a dethrone message to say my time had been beaten by 1 sec. Do you reckon this is just coincidence that someone has also sprinted there or is somebody really that bothered about random street KOM’s that are rarely ridden? I have read the stories of these strava mentalists but not for some obscure non descript residential street,surely? Is it that bad?

We had the women's tour pass near here on two stages a few weeks back. Everyone's gone down 100 places on the sections they rode. And the men's tour is coming through here too. That'll be another 100 down 🤣
