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 6th fastest Pauline of 7. The quickest one did 9:06:36, the median Pauline 10:20:55.

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 W1 median was on Descente + vallée de la Maurienne 22:19 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

The long descent and valley run down into the Maurienne was your costliest section, nearly 22 and a half minutes behind your W1 category median and the biggest single gap of the stage. That loss compounded through the rest of the ride — every remaining segment, including both the Croix de Fer and Galibier climbs, also ran behind median by 8 to 12 minutes. The pattern suggests the early Maurienne stretch set a deficit you were chasing all day rather than recovering from later climbs. Working on sustaining effort through that long valley section specifically, so it doesn't set the tone for everything after it, looks like the clearest path to a better result.
