A brief aside about data at the Tour de France


I'm a bike race fan and I really enjoy watching the stage races like the Tour de France.  The colors, speed and racing is just a great spectacle.

One of the teams that was there this year is Dimension Data.  They use Tableau to analyze the TONS of data they get on the riders and I read, re-read and read again this article on how they do it: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2017/07/tour-de-france-behind-the-scenes-how-dimension-data-rider-live-tracking-works.html

Now, if I can just get myself invited along on a race to help them with Tableau…

And congratulations to Edvald Boasson Hagen!

Questions, comments, concerns and criticisms always welcome,
John
