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 7th fastest Carl of 8. The quickest one did 6:28:16, the median Carl 9:49:22.

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 M8 median was on Col de Sarenne 30:39 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

You landed 12414th among 12733 riders, and the timed sections show exactly where that placing was earned and where it slipped. The clearest bright spot was Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire): you were about 33 seconds quicker there than the category M8 median. Col de Sarenne is where the day slipped away a little: you slipped about 31 minutes there relative to the category M8 median. That same section also ran about 39 minutes slower than the median across the whole field, not just your category, so it looks like a genuine target rather than a category-specific quirk. For next time, a block of dedicated climbing work at that kind of gradient looks like the highest-leverage fix before your next mountain stage.
