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.

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, with nothing on it that names you. More in the privacy notice.

Ask me to remove my name

Your other races on this site are not linked to this page unless you ask. If you would like them listed here, use “Link my races” at the top of this page.

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.
