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 1343rd out of 12,733 riders in the M2 field on a day defined by Croix de Fer, Télégraphe, Galibier and Sarenne. On Col de Sarenne you were clearly in your element, finishing in 62:12 versus a M2 median of 80:51 — a gain of roughly 19 minutes. Add up the descending classification and you get 62:41 — about 16 minutes quicker than the M2 median of 78:36. Nothing on this stage points to a weakness — you were ahead of the M2 median on every climb and descent, so keep leaning on the form that carried you through Col de Sarenne.
