5:06:09 · 1,607th overall

Your AI ride analysis

A tightly matched ride landed you 5,157th of 12,733 in M3, with almost every segment within a few minutes of the category median in either direction. The Col du Télégraphe was your largest single deficit, but it only amounted to about 3 minutes 47 seconds — a small number in the grand scheme. You made most of that back and more on the descents, finishing over 8 minutes ahead of the median on the combined descending split. With margins this fine, small pacing tweaks on the Télégraphe would likely tip this into a clearly positive day overall.
