Your AI ride analysis

The route's climbs and descents each told a different part of your day. Your clearest edge came on Col de la Croix de Fer, where you were about 21 minutes and 13 seconds quicker than the M2 category median. You were also about 23 minutes and 40 seconds ahead of the overall field median on Descente + vallée de la Maurienne. Your clearest loss came on Descente Sarenne → Alpe d’Huez, where you were about 1 minute and 3 seconds slower than the M2 category median. Descente Sarenne → Alpe d’Huez suggests descending is your next area to sharpen — practicing braking points and cornering lines on similarly technical descents should help.

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.
