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.

Room to improve: your biggest relative loss vs. the M2 median was on Col du Galibier — 42:17 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

Looking at your M2 splits from 11547th of 12,733 finishers, two segments stand out above the rest. Even on your toughest relative section, the Start → Pied de la Croix de Fer, you were only about 25 seconds behind the M2 median. If one segment defines the gap to the front of your category, it's the Col du Galibier, about 42 minutes slower than the M2 median. If you want to close that gap, build in some longer threshold efforts on climbs of similar length before your next ride.

These are rows sharing the same first and last name. A name is only shown as one career when no single race ever contained two people with it — which rules out the names that are provably shared, but cannot rule out two strangers who never lined up together. If one of these is not you, the removal link at the foot of this page applies to it too.

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 — nothing that identifies you is kept.

Ask me to remove my name

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.
