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.

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 M4 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire).

Your AI ride analysis

A top-700 finish, 626th overall, in M4, built on beating the category median on every single segment. The Col du Galibier was your standout, over 39 minutes clear of median, and the Croix de Fer wasn't far behind at over 28 minutes ahead. Even your tightest margin, on the connector into Valloire, had you nearly 4 minutes up. This was a genuinely exceptional, all-around ride.

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.
