Another bout of cycling fandom will keep us busy for a bit this July. Obviously, as of last night we’ve only had a handful of stages, but unlike with the Giro I have a bit more historical data to compare it do. I’m only going to do a handful of types of graphs for the […]
Also tagged cycling, tour de franceI didn’t do nearly as much writing about the Tour as I would have liked, but here are some graphs summarizing the way things shook out. Men Here’s a bird’s eye view of the men’s Tour, measured using seconds behind the median skier: These sorts of bump charts are nice, as they can allow you […]

Â In fact, the one German man who made it all the […]
Also tagged recap, tour de ski, World CupNow that the entire Tour is in the books, here’s how it played out, at least the big picture: I have to say, good job to Fransesc Soulie (AND) and Callum Watson (AUS) for hanging in there, despite being way off the back. Â Eight races in ten days is a tough feat, even for the […]
