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.

Your AI ride analysis
The way you split this route offers a few clear takeaways. You made up about 30 minutes and 44 seconds on Col du Galibier alone versus the M5 category median. Against the full field, not just your category, you took about 17 minutes and 17 seconds out of the median on Descente + vallée de la Maurienne. Where the stage cost you most was Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire) — about 1 minute and 2 seconds slower than the M5 category median there. For Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire), look for a wheel to sit on next time; drafting through valley and transition sections like that one is often worth more than raw power.

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, with nothing on it that names you. More in the privacy notice.
Your other races on this site are not linked to this page unless you ask. If you would like them listed here, use “Link my races” at the top of this page.
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.
