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 4th fastest Mathieu of 98. The quickest one did 6:04:47, the median Mathieu 10:01:05.

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

Strong across the board: you beat the M3 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire).

Your AI ride analysis

Whatever you did in preparation, it worked everywhere on this course, not just in patches. You carved out about 36 minutes on the Col du Galibier climb versus the M3 median, the biggest single swing in your favor. You were also about 24 minutes up on the Col de Sarenne climb, so it wasn't a one-segment fluke. Climbing looks like your strongest tool right now, worth leaning into for future stages.
