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.

Your AI ride analysis

Your 2091/12733 finish in category M4 came with something rare in these splits: no bad segment at all. There isn't a single segment where you fell behind the category M4 median. On Col de la Croix de Fer, you ran about 20 minutes ahead of your category M4 median, the best relative split of your day. Your smallest gap to the median came on Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire), and even that was about 4 minutes in your favor. There's real evidence there of a rider who paces climbing sections well, so keep leaning into it.
