Tour De France 2021 - Data Doodles - Week 2

[redfiona99]

I think the take home message is that this year's race is worse in terms of attrition.







As suspected, stage 9 has had after effects





Stages 9 and 11 contained more than half of all withdrawals







Most of this week's withdrawals have been abandonments (I really don't blame them)






Three teams are down to 50% or less of their starting squads.







You can see the disaster happening to Arkea Samsic and stage 12 being very bad to Team Bike Exchange.

Olympics or crashes? Or both?

(one way to look into it would maybe be to compare w/ attrition from the Giro Donne, which happens at the same time... women are also going to the Olympics, but they haven't had the wild crashes the Tour had this year)

[redfiona99]

Oooh, good shout. Now, where to find equivalent info for the Donne. Do we think that cyclingweekly will have it?

[ioplokon]

Cyclingweekly seems like a good bet. Or if they don't have it, maybe they can point you in the right direction. I wish _pigeons_ was still doing cycling journalism... She always knew everything and everyone!

[redfiona99]

In good news, Cycling Weekly did have it (mostly) and I might have been able to find the 2019 data for comparison too.

How would you like to be credited when I do eventually post it (it's going to be like a month at least)

Oh, glad you were able to find it! Hopefully it's interesting. If you want to give me a shout out, tag my @ on twitter, I guess? I feel like that's more where the data geeks hang out lol.
