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 8th fastest Rafael of 10. The quickest one did 5:59:47, the median Rafael 9:01:26.

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 M4 median was on Col du Télégraphe 18:17 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

Every split on your card sits behind the M4 median to some degree; the Descente Sarenne → Alpe d’Huez is the smallest of those gaps. Your smallest deficit came on the Descente Sarenne → Alpe d’Huez, only about a minute behind the M4 median there. Add up all your climbing splits, though, and you were about 47 minutes behind the M4 median overall. The Col du Télégraphe is where the race got away from you a little, about 18 minutes behind the M4 median. If you want to shave more off next time, the Col du Télégraphe climb is the obvious place to target in training.
