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.

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 M5 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Descente Sarenne → Alpe d’Huez.

Your AI ride analysis

Comparing each climb and descent to the rest of the field highlights where your ride really turned. You put real time into the field on the Col de la Croix de Fer, finishing close to 32 minutes under the M5 median there. There's no weak segment here at all — you were quicker than the M5 median on every section, with the Descente Sarenne → Alpe d’Huez as your narrowest margin at nearly 2 and a half minutes. Rather than chasing a weakness that doesn't exist, keep reinforcing the climbing approach that carried you through the Col de la Croix de Fer and the rest of the route.
