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.

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

Strong across the board: you beat the M2 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire).

Your AI ride analysis

This was a dominant ride: you beat the M2 category median on every single segment, finishing 62nd overall out of 12,733 riders. The Galibier climb was your best weapon, nearly 50 minutes clear of the category median, and the Col de la Croix de Fer wasn't far behind at almost 38 minutes clear. Even your tightest margin, the short flat run into Valloire, still saw you finish close to 5 minutes ahead of median. Your climbers' classification time beat the category by close to two hours across the three big ascents. With a performance like this, the thing to build on is exactly what you already have -- sustained climbing power on back-to-back cols -- rather than chasing a weakness that isn't there.
