Winner and median are over classified athletes only. The gap is what you add to their time to get yours: + means you were that much slower, − that much faster.

Watch yourself cross the mat 📺
The timekeeper indexed the Triathlon M livestream against every chip read, so each link below opens YouTube at the second Mark TOWELLS passed the camera — not the start of a four-hour video.
Links point at the organiser’s own YouTube stream, photo partner and diploma generator. Nothing is re-hosted here.

“Top %” = segment rank as a share of athletes timed on that segment. Speed is shown only where both ends of the segment sit at a measured distance — min/100 m for the swim, min/km for a run leg, km/h on the bike, nothing for a transition.

“Segment winner” = fastest athlete on that segment, field-wide. Rows with no result for this athlete (missed mat) are omitted here — the table above says why.

≈ = interpolated course km. The timing provider publishes no distances. Five checkpoints per race are pinned from the split tables (they expose km/h alongside the time). On the long course the rest are read off the official course GPX — summits, the valley low point, the half-height of a climb — and the three villages the route only passes near are interpolated to ±1–2 km. Anything not measured by the provider is marked ≈, and speeds are shown only where both ends of a segment are pinned.

Where this comes from. This page is built from the official results of Triathlon de l'Alpe d'Huez 2026 — Triathlon M, published by ChronoRace. 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, with nothing on it that names you. More in the privacy notice.
Your other races on this site are not linked to this page unless you ask. If you would like them listed here, use “Link my races” at the top of this page.
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.
