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 7th fastest Rafael of 10 (all spellings of Rafael, including Rafaël). The quickest one did 5:59:47, the median Rafael 9:01:26.

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 M3 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Start → Pied de la Croix de Fer.

Your AI ride analysis

There's a lot to unpack in your M3 splits from a 4706th-place day out of 12733 starters. The descent and valley run through the Maurienne was where you were strongest, as you grabbed about 6 minutes versus the M3 median. You were at or ahead of the M3 median on every comparable segment; the flat opening stretch up to the foot of the Croix de Fer was the closest call, and you still had 15 seconds in hand there. Whatever you're doing well shows up most on the descent and valley run through the Maurienne; lean on that again next time out.
