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.

Your AI ride analysis

You finished 12,497th of 12,733 in M8, with the Col du Galibier as your biggest cost, giving back nearly 25 minutes 42 seconds against the category median. The Col de la Croix de Fer and Col de Sarenne each cost over 12-21 minutes as well, painting a picture of steady losses across every climb. Your combined grimpeur split ended up over 54 minutes behind the M8 median. Building sustained climbing endurance, with the Galibier as the top priority, is the clearest path to a faster time.

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.
