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.

4:30:47 · 674th overall

Your AI ride analysis

With 12,733 riders on the road, a 2121st-place finish tells one part of the story - the splits explain how you got there. Not one segment slipped below your M5 median - the Col du Galibier led the way, roughly 33 minutes 8 seconds faster. Against the full field median (all categories combined), you were about 18 minutes 4 seconds quicker on the Col de Sarenne too. With climbing this consistent, the Col du Galibier points to sustained-effort pacing as your clearest strength to lean on.
