No. Your graph looks a lot more normal than his one. If you increased the averaging period in your plot it would look smoother, (although not as crisp as your mates-I have no idea how that one is so crisp, but I suspect it's somewhat artificial)

There's no way that second graph is an accurate representation of power values.
Is it because it's recording the load setting on the trainer rather than actual rider power? Even with long arse averaging enabled it seems far too rigid to me.Even if it's taken from trainer only, it's still implausible...

@J0nathan
What would cause these two graphs to be so different? The first is from a session I did last night (using the Elite Diret0), the other is from someone random I follow on Strava (device unknown).
i.e. why does the power track so smoothly on the second one? Is this related to the ~2.5% accuracy of the Direto perhaps?
