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 only Antonio Manuel to finish. Undefeated, unchallenged.

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 M8 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Col du Galibier.

Your AI ride analysis

Your finish landed just inside the top 40% of the men's field, and the numbers show why: you beat your M8 category median on every single timed segment. The Col de la Croix de Fer was a highlight, where you came in about 17 minutes 33 seconds ahead of the M8 median, and you kept finding time on both descents too. Even your tightest margin, the Col du Galibier, still had you finishing about 36 seconds quicker than your category's median rider. With no real weak point to fix, the best next step is simply carrying that same pacing into a longer or steeper stage.

“Top %” = segment rank as a share of riders timed on that segment. “vs median” = time ahead of (green) or behind (red) the median rider.

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 — nothing that identifies you is kept.

Ask me to remove my name

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.
