Room to improve: your biggest relative loss vs. the M9 median was on Descente du Galibier — 23:04 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

At 10,950th in M9, the Galibier descent was your defining weak point — over 23 minutes slower than the category median, well beyond any other gap. Right at the start of the route, though, you were actually a touch ahead of median, showing the pacing wasn't the problem from the outset. Technical descending practice specifically, rather than more climbing volume, looks like the highest-leverage fix here.
