Climb Portal attempt flagged in error [Spring Classics Challenge][March 2026]

Then on strava, both the Cauberg and Koppenberg segments show. I think we have all seen that behavior before, as the coordinates fed to strava from…

It is a Strava issue, not Zwift. It is caused by Zwift overlapping portal climbs on the map. (Your Zwift records are accurate.)

This issue is over a year ago. The shorter climbs are straight. A sharp curve will not overlap a straight segment. Try riding Norton, same issue. The real rides get over-taken. Your Tourmalet/Patterberg segment probably has a different amount of altitude than the real Patterberg.
