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 1st fastest Paulin of 3. The quickest one did 7:28:06, the median Paulin 8:39:49.

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

Club ranking

The only Issoire Cyclisme finisher to be classified.

See the whole Issoire Cyclisme club page →

Among classified finishers from this club only, ties sharing a place. This is not the club classification, which scores each club on its 3 best times.

Room to improve: your biggest relative loss vs. the M1 median was on Col de Sarenne — 10:27 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

There's a fairly clear dividing line in your splits between your good sections and your costly one. The single biggest hit came on Col de Sarenne, about 10 minutes off the M1 median. On Col de la Croix de Fer you were actually about 41 minutes quicker than the M1 median, so the engine is clearly there. Putting a few weeks of threshold climbing work in, specifically pacing efforts that mirror Col de Sarenne, should pay back that time.

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.

Ask me to remove my name

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.
