The fun ranking · La Marmotte Granfondo Alpes 2021
The first-name championship
Forget categories. Which first name brought the most riders round the 174 km and over the line — and which one got there quickest? It is the one classification of 2021 you could improve by deed poll. With 34 nationalities in the results, it is as much a map of Europe as a leaderboard.
Postponed to 4 September 2021. The source is a starters list, so there is no entrant count for this edition.
Every first name in the field has a page, not just the 150 below. Accent variants are merged, so “frederic” finds the Frédérics too.

Top 150 first names among the 1,807 classified finishers of La Marmotte Granfondo Alpes 2021, as spelled at registration — accent variants (Frédéric, Frederic…) are grouped under the most common spelling. Times are net: the neutralisation credits are already subtracted, exactly as the classification scored them.
Names on the same number of finishers share a place, so a run of 62nds is a tie and not a rendering fault. Only classified finishers count towards a name: riders who started and did not finish score nothing for theirs. This is a bit of fun rather than a classification the timekeeper would recognise — nobody was ranked by their parents on the day.
