Vuelta a Espana 1998-2014: Defining Images

This will undoubtedly be the weakest of the three "defining images" threads, simply because my knowledge of the Vuelta is, well, poor, and because until fairly recently it was rather under reported and under appreciated by cycling fans, who given the choice of watching the majestic mountian scenery of France and Italy or the interminable identikit...

Vuelta a Espana – Top 10 Time Analysis 1998-2014

This is part of my project to analyse the Grand Tours by looking at the times of the top ten riders in relation to the race leader. This produces some rather lovely graphs which show an interesting picture of the race, showing the time gaps between riders at different stages, the rate of gain they...

1998-2014 Grand Tours

This page is basically a hub for a recent project I've done on the Grand Tours between 1998 and 2014 (lots more posts on that coming) Essentially, the aim originally was to look at what position each rider was in over the course of the race and make a graph, and then after I'd done...
