Your AI ride analysis

Finishing 1871st out of 12,733 riders in the M4 category, your splits break down into a few clear patterns. Your standout moment came on the Col de la Croix de Fer, where you beat the M4 median by about 27 minutes. That same Col de la Croix de Fer split also beat the overall (all-category) median by about 28 minutes. Every segment on the route favored you relative to the M4 median, including your narrowest edge on the Descente Sarenne → Alpe d’Huez, still about 2 minutes in your favor. That's the strength to lean on next time out — your climbing is well ahead of your category's typical pace.
