Winner and median are over classified finishers 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 Joao of 5. The quickest one did 7:19:01, the median Joao 7:58:38.

See the whole Joao ranking →

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

Strong across the board: you beat the M4 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Descente Sarenne → Alpe d’Huez.

Your AI ride analysis

A rare fully clean sheet against the M4 median: no segment was slower than the field. You were especially strong on Descente + vallée de la Maurienne, taking about 21 minutes out of the M4 median there. Even your closest margin, on Descente Sarenne → Alpe d’Huez, still had you about 2 minutes ahead of the M4 median. There's no obvious fix needed here, just keep sharpening the strength you showed on Descente + vallée de la Maurienne.

Times are chip times from the official race timekeeping. Search another rider.

Where this comes from. This page is built from the official results of L’Étape du Tour 2026, published by Sport Innovation / TimeTo. Names, bib numbers and times are reproduced from that public classification; the split analysis and rankings on this page are mine. Athletes who asked to be anonymous in the official results are anonymous here too.

Is this you, and would you rather it were not? Write to me and I will take your name and bib off this site, usually the same day. The result itself stays as an anonymous line so that the race totals and averages remain correct, with nothing on it that names you. More in the privacy notice.

Ask me to remove my name

Your other races on this site are not linked to this page unless you ask. If you would like them listed here, use “Link my races” at the top of this page.

One thing worth knowing before you write: removing your name here does not remove it from the timekeeper’s own results, which is where it is published and which this site only mirrors. To have it taken down at the source, ask the event organiser or the timekeeper directly — otherwise it stays online there, and any other site that mirrors them can pick it up again.
