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.

4:54:57 · 1,275th overall

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

Your AI ride analysis

This stage rewards riders who manage the transitions as much as the climbs, and your splits in M6 show how that went. There isn't a single section where the M6 median caught you; you were ahead everywhere. The standout section was the Col du Galibier climb, about 25 minutes clear of the M6 median. You also had a strong showing on the Sarenne ascent, about 17 minutes ahead of the M6 median there. No fixes needed; if anything, keep building specifically on the form you showed on the Col du Galibier climb.

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.
