Julia Robson, a software developer at Cambridge Intelligence, is tackling the Tour de France route with Le Loop a week before the professionals. Before beginning her journey, she used her data visualization prowess to explore the history, legends, nationalities and thrilling finale of the 2022 Tour De France.
The race started in Copenhagen on July 1st 2022, and Julia produced a dynamic network graph and timeline visualization to chart the event. It highlighted the gripping battle of the General Classification between Jumbo-Visma’s Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates, which culminated in Vingegaard clinching the yellow jersey from stage 11. Her creative shirt-shaped nodes in club colors, along with an animated progress bar for each rider, gave an accurate insight into the race.
Julia also visualized the entire history of the Tour de France since 1903, with customized nodes representing teams and riders, and links labeled by year of participation and final GC ranking. She used Cambridge Intelligence’s data visualization toolkits to chart the various Tour de France stage start and finish locations, riders’ nationalities and stage wins according to stage types. Mark Cavendish, who was aiming to become the rider with the most stage wins of all times, was marked with the largest node – however, he crashed out of the 2023 tour and currently remains tied with two other riders with 34 wins.
