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.

The fun ranking

The 2nd fastest Gael of 8 (all spellings of Gael, including Gaël). The quickest one did 6:43:55, the median Gael 9:57:47.

Among classified finishers only, ties sharing a place. Not an official classification — no timekeeper has ever scored this.

Room to improve: your biggest relative loss vs. the M1 median was on Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire) 4:50 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

You climbed well ahead of the M1 median on the Croix de Fer and Galibier, both by more than 7 minutes, but gave back close to 5 minutes on the short flat stretch into Valloire. That's a narrow, specific gap rather than anything structural. Smoothing pacing through that one flat section is the only real refinement worth making.
