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.

4:24:21 · 556th overall

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

Strong across the board: you beat the M8 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire).

Your AI ride analysis

Across the full route, there wasn't a single segment where the M8 median caught you. Col du Galibier stood out as your best segment, about 35 minutes ahead of the M8 median. Given that, whatever you're doing on climbs like Col du Galibier is paying off — keep building your training around it rather than chasing an imaginary weak point.
