No credit for route: La Reine in events

I find this curious because according to Strava I’ve ridden La Reine 3 times in events. For example:

Yet no credit:

I have not ridden in in a solo ride. (Eric made a separate Strava segment for the different spawn point, which I have not matched).

Is credit not reliably given for routes ridden in events?

This is a particularly painful one.

That example is from 2020, but the badge arrived in 2022. Badges are not given retroactively.

Thanks. That makes sense.

It was originally an “event only” route, then later (Dec 2022) was promoted to a general ride route, and event-only routes rarely count towards badges, even if ridden in events.

I’d love to see Zwift doing less France route shuffling and more French road expansion (all of those tantilizing dirt stubs), but that’s another matter…
