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 Paulin of 3. The quickest one did 7:28:06, the median Paulin 8:39:49.

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 M1 median was on Descente + vallée de la Maurienne 41:20 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

You placed 8,245th of 12,733 in M1, and two sections stand out as the story of the day: the opening flat run cost about 25 minutes versus the category median, and the Maurienne descent and valley section right after it added a further 41-minute deficit, an unusually large gap for that stretch, likely a stop or issue early on rather than pure pace. What's notable is that you beat the median by about 8 minutes on the Col de Sarenne climb later in the stage, showing the underlying climbing form recovered well. It's worth reviewing what happened specifically in that opening hour before drawing conclusions about fitness for next time.
