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 6th fastest Alain of 34. The quickest one did 4:33:34, the median Alain 6:52:26.

DNF

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

Room to improve: your biggest relative loss vs. the M8 median was on Col de Suzette — 2:02 slower.

Your AI ride analysis

The only section that cost you anything was Col de Suzette, and it was a modest 2 min 2 sec behind the M8 median. You made up ground elsewhere, gaining about 13 min 35 sec on Madeleine → Bédoin → Saint-Estève and another 9 min 26 sec on Baronnies → Pied du col de Suzette against the category median. Everywhere else you were right with the field, so this looks like an isolated moment rather than a broader pattern. Practising sustained efforts at similar gradients in training should target that weak point directly.
