The Karel ranking
6 classified finishers named Karel. Here is who carried the name best.
Roadworks made the Glandon descent unrideable, so 2023 climbed the Col de la Croix de Fer and took in the Col du Mollard twice — 185.6 km with three neutralised descents instead of two. No time on this page compares with any other edition.
Fastest Karel of 2023
Not an official classification: the timekeeper ranks riders, not first names, and nobody rode this one as a race. It is a pool of 6 people who happen to share a name and a start line.

6 riders shown, classified finishers only, accent variants merged. Riders sharing a time to the second share a place. Times are net — the neutralisation credits are already subtracted, as the classification scored them.
2 more riders named Karel appear in 2023 without a finishing position — a start that was not classified, whether it ended early, never began or was struck out. There is no place among finishers to give them, so they are not ranked here.
A bit of fun, not a classification: nobody was scored against their namesakes on the day. Every name in 2023 · every edition.
