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.

Strong across the board: you beat the W1 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire).

Your AI ride analysis

Splitting your ride up climb by climb tells a clearer story than the 557th overall finish alone. Your standout section was the Col du Galibier climb, about 40 minutes 29 seconds quicker than the W1 median there. There was no soft patch anywhere — you beat the W1 median on every segment of the day. With every segment already ahead of the median, the best next step is refining rather than overhauling your preparation.
