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.

Room to improve: your biggest relative loss vs. the M9 median was on Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire) — 0:19 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

You finished 6,428th of 12,733 in M9, with a combined grimpeur split nearly 19 minutes 27 seconds ahead of the category median — a genuinely strong climbing day. Everything from the Croix de Fer to the Galibier came in comfortably ahead of the field. The only place time slipped even slightly was the short flat section into Valloire, where you were just 19 seconds off the median. With that Valloire flat as the only place giving anything back, even a slightly stronger push through that short section would make this a clean sweep.

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 — nothing that identifies you is kept.

Ask me to remove my name

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.
