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 Mickael of 32. The quickest one did 6:56:37, the median Mickael 9:31:52.

Among classified finishers only, ties sharing a place. Not an official classification — no timekeeper has ever scored this.

Room to improve: your biggest relative loss vs. the M5 median was on Col du Galibier — 14:54 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

At 6,667th in M5, the Col du Galibier was your toughest section — nearly 15 minutes slower than the category median — which is notable because you then turned around and beat median on the descent right after by over 10 minutes. The rest of your splits stayed close to or ahead of median, so this looks like an isolated climb-specific dip rather than a broader issue. That combination suggests the climbing effort itself, not overall fitness or descending skill, is the specific gap; targeted climbing intervals at altitude-relevant intensities should help most.

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.

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.
