If i Ride up a dirt road with my bike and register it as an Ride, will it be on the same segments on that road that if I had registered it as a gravel ride or a mountainbike ride? Or is it different segments for all 3?

These three sport types all share the same segments and using the same leaderboards.

In my opinion, these should be separate leaderboards, or at least be separable with the click of a sort button, just like male and female riders can be separated. 
 

It’s frustrating that these are the same segments when mountain bikes are so much slower than gravel/road going up. But yet alpine ski and snowboard segments are completely separate segments, so I can’t see how me and my friend compare going down the same run next to each other. Looking for at least some consistency, at most all leaderboards should be separable into like sports.

​@Jerm - If mountain bike, gravel bike, etc… were separate sports to start with, it would be easy for them to have their own segments.  But since they were split out as sub-activities within the larger “ride” sport type WAY after people had been logging all of them as just a “ride”, it is impossible to separate them now.  The leaderboards would be meaningless.  Only a fraction of people actually categorize their rides down past just a “ride” no matter what type of bike they are using.  Old files would not include the separation, so those would end up mis-categorized.  Not to mention, these days, it is hard to really tell the difference between what is a “grave bike” or a “mountain bike” or even a “road bike”.  There is so much blurring of the lines between them that trying to officially separate them would be almost impossible.
