What Riders Planned With Our Calculator in 2026

From the 94 riders who had a plan from our LOTOJA Pacing Calculator emailed to them during the 2026 season, not the full LOTOJA field.

Riders aim high. 50 of the 73 riders whose category we know (68%) set a target faster than their category's median finisher, and the typical target would have beaten 73% of that category's real field. 71% of plans were made in August and September.

First plans by month: May 24, June 4, July 4, August 36, September 26. Each rider counts once, by their latest plan; a category appears only with at least 10 riders, so no row is one person's target.
