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 4th fastest Cesar of 8 (all spellings of Cesar, including César). The quickest one did 6:19:11, the median Cesar 10:02:18.

Room to improve: your biggest relative loss vs. the M3 median was on Descente + vallée de la Maurienne 6:47 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

Your day breaks down into two stories: the segments you owned, and the one that got away. You clawed back about 3 minutes on the Galibier descent versus the M3 median. That was offset by the descent and valley run through the Maurienne, where you shed about 7 minutes against the M3 median. Added up across the three big climbs, you finished about 6 minutes behind the M3 climbing median. Practicing sitting in a group on flat, transitional stretches like that one could close the gap.
