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.

Your AI ride analysis
Your 8,075th-place finish among 12,733 riders in M4 hides a mix of strong and shaky moments once you break it down. Your best relative moment came on Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire), where you were about 40 seconds quicker than the M4 median. Your weakest link on the day was Descente du Galibier, about 14 minutes behind where your category typically sits. That 14 minutes lost on Descente du Galibier is your clearest opportunity — a few sessions targeting that kind of terrain should pay off next time.

These are rows sharing the same first and last name. A name is only shown as one career when no single race ever contained two people with it — which rules out the names that are provably shared, but cannot rule out two strangers who never lined up together. If one of these is not you, the removal link at the foot of this page applies to it too.
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.
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.
