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.

One of the 1,586 riders who entered both Étapes this year — see the doublé analysis.

⚠️ This rider’s chip was only read at 9 of the 12 timing mats — segment times that need a missing mat can’t be computed, and this rider is absent from the corresponding leaderboards.
Strong across the board: you beat the M3 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Start → Pied de la Croix de Fer.

Your AI ride analysis

Ending 101th of 12733 in category M3, it's worth looking at how each part of the route went. You held the M3 median or better on every single segment, headlined by Col de la Croix de Fer — roughly 37 minutes ahead of the pack. Your tightest margin came on Start → Pied de la Croix de Fer, where you were still essentially level with the M3 median — not a loss, just your smallest cushion. There's nothing to fix here — keep building on that climbing strength; it looks like your biggest asset on a route like this.
