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 20th fastest Alain of 35. The quickest one did 7:16:49, the median Alain 10:42:00.

Club ranking

The only Entente Cycliste Luc La Primaube finisher to be classified.

Among classified finishers from this club only, ties sharing a place. This is not the club classification, which scores each club on its 3 best times.

Room to improve: your biggest relative loss vs. the M9 median was on Col du Galibier — 6:28 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

You clearly had good legs for most of this route. You clawed back about 3 minutes on the Col du Télégraphe climb versus the M9 median. That was offset by the Col du Galibier climb, where you dropped about 6 minutes against the M9 median. Added up across the three big climbs, you finished about 9 minutes behind the M9 climbing median. Focused work on sustained climbing power ahead of next year's edition should pay off there.

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.
