They can be a bit glitchy because of the way GPS points are tracked in 3D space, but still fun! The individual highs and lows are going to be way off, but the overall picture gives you a bit of an idea what kind of speed you can achieve.
89 feels a bit fast unless you can produce it consistently, but not so far off. 80km/h is definitely plausible IMO.
Partner and I did some speed laps a few weeks back and she ended up with the faster speed even though I was bombing past her on each run so I wouldn't bet too many beers on it
