Your AI ride analysis

Your splits tell a story of steady pacing everywhere but one section: the Col du Galibier. You more than made up for it elsewhere: the Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire) came in about 37 seconds faster than the M4 median. The clearest number in your file is about 16 minutes you conceded to the M4 median on the Col du Galibier. If you want the biggest single improvement for next time, put your training focus on climb-specific work for a climb like the Col du Galibier.
