Your AI ride analysis

This stage put you 573rd out of 12,733 finishers, with big swings between your best and worst sections. Every section beat the M4 median, and nowhere more emphatically than the Col du Galibier, around 36 minutes in your favor. Even against every rider in the field, not just your category, the Col de la Croix de Fer was about 31 minutes 46 seconds quicker. With climbing this consistent, the Col du Galibier points to sustained-effort pacing as your clearest strength to lean on.
