Indeed the points are usually accurate, but freeroute then just tries to guess the part between those. So on that example, if the points are far enough of each other, the most obvious route might on that bigger road and not where the route is. So you'd have to look at where the tracking points are. So yeah hard to judge and not much gain. And strava is indeed more accurate and the racer might be asked for the gps track if there's something suspicious.

Yeah thought as much, bit tricky when the roads are so close together as in the screen grab.
Most of the compulsory sections are single roads to eliminate this i guess, but that also then makes it harder to judge. Ultimately not much/ any gain.
