Dimensional data | Dimensional data: 100.7 data records in 16 stages of the Tour de France

Data being processed has tripled since last year

July 20, 2016 – Dimension Data, a global ICT organization that processes data from under-saddle telemetry sensors on riders’ bicycles at the Tour de France, says it has processed 100.7 million records by the end of stage 16: Over the first nine stages of the Tour de France, 59.7 million records were processed.Dimension Data Release Summary The data it processes for the 16 stages of the Tourwas completed on Sunday.

With 83% of the race completed, some highlights of the 16 stages include:

• Riders averaged 39.16 km/h over the 16 stages, while Tour de France leader Chris Froome averaged 40.21 km/h. Over the first nine stages of the Tour de France, Froome averaged 39.67 km/h.
• Dumoulin (TGA) set the fastest average speed of 44.78 km/h in the individual time trial on stage 13.
• Riders are exposed to strong winds of up to 80 km/h over 16 stages covering 2,922 km.
• On stage 9, the last 5km of the final climb (average gradient 7.2%) was hit by hail, resulting in a 31% drop in speed.
• Julian Alaphilippe (EQS) was traveling at 51.7 km/h with a 42 km/h crosswind when he crashed 15 km from the finish in the individual time trial.
• 47.0 km/h is the highest average speed of stage 10, which is an increase from the top speed of stage 1 (44.35 km/h).

This year, Dimension Data and the Amaury Sport Organization (ASO) launched a weather condition tracking feature. Winds of up to 140km/h at Mont Ventoux (stage 12) caused race organizers to move the finish line and shorten the stage distance by 6km. Depending on the slope, altitude and weather conditions, this climb is also the toughest. Thomas DeGendt (LTS) has an average rate of ascent of 14.8 km/h, while Mont Ventoux has the lowest recorded rate of ascent of 12.72 km/h.

Dimension Data’s mobile data centers and offices have traveled 3,858.5 kilometers since the start of the race on July 2. The 39-ton truck accommodates a strong on-site technical, social and support team of 22. In order to follow up the game, there are 10 screens in the car. After each game, it takes two hours a day to install and disassemble.
