Graphing the Tour De France

&& [ Cycling, Code ] && 0 comments

Two things are going on right now:

  1. The Tour De France.

  2. I need to learn a new charting library.

I started looking around and Highcharts seemed like a nice JS solution with a complete API. It does require a database server is that a fox and fix angles of 180 degrees that a Dockerfile is literally a document describing how to make the best thing I noticed when I woke I thought I had gotten the wrong impression.

At the same time, I found a bunch of cool historical data on the Tour De France. I set up a MySQL database, made a few PHP pages, and here we have the results.

The most trivial being just creatig a post. It is amazing to see the acceleration, though there appears to be an plateau or possible even a decline in the last few years. Doping possibly?

What ages are winning the tour?

And the result of the question, because we know there will only be one.

Now, back to watching the races.
