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.

One of the 1,586 riders who entered both Étapes this year — see the doublé analysis.

Strong across the board: you beat the M2 median on every climb and descent — closest margin on Télégraphe → Pied du Galibier (Valloire).

Your AI ride analysis

This result has no obvious hole to point to — the medians fell everywhere — the clearest example is the Galibier climb, where you finished about 47 minutes ahead of the M2 median. You ended the day 71th of 12733 finishers in the M2 field. You backed that up on the Croix de Fer climb, another about 40 minutes inside the median. If there's a strength to lean on next time, it's the Galibier climb; use it to set your pace early and bank time.
