Winner and median are over classified riders only. The gap is what you add to their time to get yours: + means you were that much slower, that much faster.

The fun ranking

The 3rd fastest James of 8. The quickest one did 6:40:57, the median James 11:14:44.

Among classified riders only, ties sharing a place. Not an official classification — no timekeeper has ever scored this.

This official time contains an untimed section

James is missing a mat read at one end of col du mollard (albiez-le-jeune) descent and la grave (entrée) descent, and the credit needs both ends. So the time above includes minutes the rest of the field had subtracted — a median of for col du mollard (albiez-le-jeune) descent and for la grave (entrée) descent.

The credit requires both mats bounding a neutralised section, and the timekeeper does not compensate when one is missed. This rider is therefore charged for a stretch the rest of the field rode for free — in their own official time, and so in their rank. We publish the time exactly as the timekeeper does, and we say when it applies.

What that does to a rank →

⚠️ This rider’s chip was read at only 8 of the 13 timing mats — section times that need a missing mat can’t be computed, and they are absent from the corresponding leaderboards. The overall result is unaffected.

the ranked time

The arithmetic is exact: 10:24:38 gross minus 28:38 of credits is 9:56:00, the time this ride is ranked on.

Every rank on this page is on the official time — gross minus the neutralisation credits. The gross chip time is what the rider’s own computer showed; it ranks nothing here.

Official links

Heads-up on the diploma: the position baked into that PDF is generated from the gross chip time on this timekeeper’s templates, and on a race with neutralised sections that is not the official ranking. The rank on this page is the official one.

Faster than the median everywhere: the closest margin was on Valloire → Col du Galibier.

“Since previous” is the time between consecutive reads on the official clock, so the neutralised stretches read neutralised rather than 0:00 — and no km/h is computed across them, because dividing a real distance by zero seconds has no answer.

* This leg spans more than one mat interval: a mat in between had no read for this rider, so the time covers both.
