Pace
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race pace | +0.10% | 0.00–0.39 | 2/54 | 174 |

| Fast lap (practice) | +0.39% | 0.09–0.88 | 2/60 | 365 |
Percentage above the fastest rider of each session (median over all their sessions): 0% would mean always being the fastest. The usual range goes from their good quartile to their bad one. Rank: among all riders with enough data.

Descriptive: how the rider has done so far, not a prediction. "Hides pace" is not very stable from one year to the next: always look at the usual range.

Tyres
Tyre management
| Metric | s/lap | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Degradation in practice · Medium | +0.210 | 0.131–0.289 | 6/34 | 4 |

| Pace loss in the race | +0.020 | -0.008–0.049 | 30/54 | 144 |
Seconds lost per lap over a run. Lower is better: better tyre management.
