All that data and not a chart of climbs....

 

They could easily to that - total climb by day, include distance at inclines by % - this could also show average speeds and descent in the same graphic.... then we would have a decent picture...

Interesting that Cavendish has not registered the highest speed in the top 5, even though he's the top sprinter with 3 wins in all-out flat finalès

 

Just shows timing, positioning

and tactics is crucial to winning a fast finish

Pretty impressive High speed in that spring Mr Kittel.

Have a look at the speeds of Cavendish, Kittel and McLay (stage 6).

 

Little was fastest, but faded over the final metres. Cavendish kept the speed constant up to the finish line, while McLay left it too late to catch Cav.

 

Cav's top speed was just before the finish line. Perfect timing
