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 M1 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire).

Your AI ride analysis

Consistency is the story for Quentin: the M1 median didn't win a single segment. The Col du Galibier gave over 30 minutes, the Col de la Croix de Fer gave close to 20 minutes 26 seconds, and the flat before the Galibier — the closest one — still gave about 3 minutes 2 seconds. That consistency is worth 542nd out of 12,733. With no weakness anywhere, the priority is simply protecting this climbing form.
