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.

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

Room to improve: your biggest relative loss vs. the M3 median was on Descente + vallée de la Maurienne — 20:55 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

Comparing you to the rest of M3, the day breaks into two stories: the good and the one rough patch. The biggest gap opened up on Descente + vallée de la Maurienne, where you came in about 21 minutes slower than your M3 median. On the flip side, Col du Galibier was a genuine bright spot, roughly 27 minutes ahead of the M3 median. Next time out, treat Descente + vallée de la Maurienne as the priority — repeated efforts on similar terrain should close most of that gap.

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 — 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.
