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.

Club ranking

The only VC GRAND BOURGTHEROULDE finisher to be classified.

See the whole VC GRAND BOURGTHEROULDE club page →

Among classified finishers from this club only, ties sharing a place. This is not the club classification, which scores each club on its 3 best times.

Strong across the board: you beat the M3 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Descente Sarenne → Alpe d’Huez.

Your AI ride analysis

Compared to your M3 peers, the way this stage played out for you is worth unpacking climb by climb. The Col du Galibier climb is where you separated yourself from the M3 median by about 25 minutes. On the Descente + vallée de la Maurienne flat/rolling stretch as well, you ran about 19 minutes ahead of the M3 median. Measured against every finisher rather than just the M3 field, the Col de la Croix de Fer climb was about 19 minutes in your favour. With no losing segment on the sheet, the takeaway is to keep riding the climb the way you did here.

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.
