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 only Ainsley to finish. Undefeated, unchallenged.

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 W7 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire).

Your AI ride analysis

You beat the W7 category median on every segment of this route, with the Col du Galibier the standout at over 12.6 minutes quicker and the Col de la Croix de Fer close behind at 13.5 minutes — together part of a grimpeur classification nearly 32 minutes clear of the category. Descending held up well too, close to 20 minutes ahead combined. Your smallest margin, on the short flat run into Valloire, was still solidly positive. A 7,983rd-place finish out of 12,733 overall undersells how strong this was relative to your category — every segment came out ahead of the W7 median.
