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 5th fastest Marco of 12. The quickest one did 7:00:55, the median Marco 9:50:06.

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

Strong across the board: you beat the M6 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Descente Sarenne → Alpe d’Huez.

Your AI ride analysis

A 4228th-place finish out of 12,733 puts you in the top third of M6, and you beat the category median on every segment recorded. The Col du Galibier was your best stretch, worth about 18 minutes over the M6 median, backed up by a strong Col de la Croix de Fer as well. Your tightest margin came right at the finish, on the descent into Alpe d'Huez, but it still favored you. This was a genuinely complete ride — keep the same approach next time.

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, with nothing on it that names you. More in the privacy notice.

Ask me to remove my name

Your other races on this site are not linked to this page unless you ask. If you would like them listed here, use “Link my races” at the top of this page.

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.
