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.

The fun ranking

The 3rd fastest Mehdi of 8. The quickest one did 6:07:00, the median Mehdi 10:03:18.

Among classified finishers only, ties sharing a place. Not an official classification — no timekeeper has ever scored this.

Strong across the board: you beat the M3 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Start → Pied de la Croix de Fer.

Your AI ride analysis

Comparing each timed section to the M3 median, a clear pattern emerges in how you distributed your effort. There isn't a single section where the M3 median caught you; you were ahead everywhere. You were most dominant on the Col du Galibier climb, coming in about 19 minutes ahead of the M3 median. You also had a strong showing on the run down into the Maurienne valley, about 14 minutes ahead of the M3 median there. The lesson from this stage is to keep doing what worked on the Col du Galibier climb and carry that approach forward.
