I don’t see how this is physically possible.
35mph over what distance? Over a short distance, it's doable, 'specially with help. Anyway, you can see their KOM runs - click on their time on the leaderboard and take a look at their ride. On the unrealistic ones, you'll often see someone noodling around and then turning in to a megabeast for the second half of the ride, a sure sign that they forgot to stop their ride on Strava. Flag 'em and be done with it.
