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

Your day in category W5 ended 7185th of 12,733, with the splits telling most of the story. On Col de Sarenne you were clearly in your element, finishing in 78:23 versus a W5 median of 90:56 — a gain of roughly 13 minutes. Stacking the two descents together, your descending classification time of 91:23 came in about 5 minutes slower than the W5 median of 86:20. Your softest split sat on Col du Télégraphe, where 79:31 lagged the W5 median of 73:01 by roughly 6 minutes. That's a specific, fixable target: repeat efforts on segments like Col du Télégraphe until the gap there shrinks.
