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 46th fastest François of 78 (all spellings of François, including Francois). The quickest one did 7:04:29, the median François 10:14:10.

Your AI ride analysis
The Col du Galibier was your toughest section relative to category, costing about 23 minutes against your M3 median and standing out well above any other gap on the day. The Col de Sarenne and Col du Télégraphe also ran behind median, by 14 and 9 minutes respectively, so the pattern points to the longer, sustained climbs being where you struggled most. The descents flipped that story completely — you were more than 11 minutes ahead of median on the Galibier descent and over 7 minutes up on the two-descent combined classification. Focused work on pacing the Galibier specifically, rather than the shorter Télégraphe, is where the clearest time is waiting to be recovered.

Times are chip times from the official race timekeeping. Search another rider.
Where this comes from. This page is built from the official results of L’Étape du Tour 2026, published by Sport Innovation / TimeTo. Names, bib numbers and times are reproduced from that public classification; the split analysis and rankings on this page are mine. Athletes who asked to be anonymous in the official results are anonymous here too.
Is this you, and would you rather it were not? Write to me and I will take your name and bib off this site, usually the same day. The result itself stays as an anonymous line so that the race totals and averages remain correct — nothing that identifies you is kept.
One thing worth knowing before you write: removing your name here does not remove it from the timekeeper’s own results, which is where it is published and which this site only mirrors. To have it taken down at the source, ask the event organiser or the timekeeper directly — otherwise it stays online there, and any other site that mirrors them can pick it up again.
