Le Tour de France 2016 - 15. Stage 15: Bourg-en-Bresse / Culoz

Data's driving
How they're riding
A stage story in numbers

Miles ahead: Ninety-Nine point Four
Six Summits lay in store

Feet to gain in elevation?
Sixteen Thousand Seven-One-One

Data's driving
How they're riding
A stage story in numbers

Rafal Majka's chasing down
That storied King of Mountain crown
Points to the cyclist first to summit
And on the flip side dangerously plummet

For 50 points Monsieur Majka toiled
2 extra points Monsieur Voeckler spoiled
All day out in front he fought
Now Majka reigns in polka dots

Data's driving
How they're riding
A stage story in numbers

Contenders claim they're fit and well
What tale does their gearing tell?
Froome's ratio is 38/28
While it's 36/32 for the younger Yates

The climb continually gets steeper
Riders watch their power meter
Astana tries to call some shots
But Sky just keeps conserving watts

Data's driving
How they're riding
A stage story in numbers

A breakaway group 30 strong
Rode away from the Peleton
By the time they reached the Cat HC
Twas 2 Leaders and Chase 1-2-3

Into Culoz the two leaders descend
And cross the line twice for this race to end
Mile after mile - mano a mano
Now sprint and win - Monsieur Pantano

Data's driving
How they're riding
A stage story in numbers


One more stat: 4.5 hours of TV viewing for this single stage!
