Your AI ride analysis

An excellent result at 534th out of 12,733 overall in M1, you beat the category median on every segment, led by the Col du Galibier at over 27 minutes 30 seconds faster than the field. The combined grimpeur split finished over 65 minutes ahead of the M1 median. Even your tightest margin, the flat run into Valloire, was still about 2 minutes 40 seconds in your favor. There's no weakness worth chasing here — just a dominant day across the board.
