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.

One of the 1,586 riders who entered both Étapes this year — see the doublé analysis.

Strong across the board: you beat the M1 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Col du Télégraphe.

Your AI ride analysis

Consistency was the story of your day — ahead of the M1 median on every section of the route. Nowhere did you gain more than on the Descente + vallée de la Maurienne, about 8 minutes up on the M1 median. It wasn't a one-off either: the Col du Galibier was about 6 minutes inside the M1 median as well. That's the blueprint — repeat it, and the rest of your race should follow.
