Your AI ride analysis

This is as complete a ride as the data shows: every comparison to your M3 median comes out even or in your favour. Col de la Croix de Fer carries the biggest margin of the day, about 33 minutes up on the M3 median. There's nothing to fix here; the job now is repeating this level of pacing on the next course.
