L’Étape du Tour 2026, every split of every rider

Le Bourg d’Oisans → Alpe d’Huez, 170 km over the Croix de Fer, Télégraphe, Galibier and Sarenne. This explorer indexes the full timing data of the race — 12,733 finishers timed on 12 mats along the course, climb-by-climb leaderboards — beyond what the official results page shows.

Every classified rider has a page: splits, checkpoint ranks, climb times vs. the field.

Compare riders head-to-head

Le doublé — 1,586 riders also entered the Étape Femmes
Alpe d’Huez on July 19, Mont Ventoux on August 6: 1,065 riders finished both. Attrition, time ratios, the fastest doublés — the full cross-race analysis.

When the amateurs met the Tour

Six days after L’Étape, the 2026 Tour de France raced the same Télégraphe and Galibier. On the all-time Strava segment leaderboards, the fastest EDT riders land right in the middle of the pro peloton.

Col du Télégraphe

Luca Cavallo climbed it in 33:32 — 8th of all time, and a touch quicker than Tadej Pogačar’s 33:57 on stage day. Thibaut Clément (33:33) is right there too.

Col du Galibier

Thomas Gobert did 48:32 — 52nd all-time, slotted in between Filippo Ganna, Michał Kwiatkowski and Jonas Rickaert.

Fair-play caveat: the pros ride these climbs at tactical stage pace inside a five-hour race, not as flat-out efforts — so read it as a maxed-out amateur next to a pro riding within the bunch. Same tarmac, same clock.

⚠️ One timing mat had a bad day: the Col de Sarenne summit mat has no read for 96 of the top 100 finishers (it caught the podium, failed while the front of the race streamed past, then recovered for the mid-pack). The climber ranking below therefore uses the three reliably-timed climbs, and every Sarenne-dependent leaderboard carries a warning.

The moto club 🏍️

Segment times that are physically implausible for the rider’s overall level — almost certainly timing glitches (a phantom mat read)… or a very discreet motorbike. Kept visible, excluded from every ranking and stat.

Rankings at every checkpoint

The course had 12 timing mats — who led the race at each one, and how the field spread out along the course. Mats occasionally miss a rider (~690 finishers lack at least one read), which is why some rider pages show “mat missed” on a segment.

About this project. Timing data from the official race timekeeping (Sport Innovation / TimeTo), fetched once after the race and republished here with per-climb segment times, recomputed leaderboards and per-rider pages that the official results don’t offer. Riders who asked to be anonymous in the official results stay anonymous here. Times are chip times (the basis of the official ranking).
