Hi all,

For those of you who are interested in how the live race data from Le Tour de France is collected and analysed, have a look at the e-book from NTT (previously Dimension Data):

full disclosure: I work for NTT, so I hope this is ok?

Regardless of where I work though, as someone interested in sport and technology, i think its pretty cool! How long before @Nate_Pearson is using machine learning in order to beat Chad?!

I don’t need ML to beat Chad :joy:.

But I would like to consistently beat Jonathan… :wink:

NTT using machine learning to pick their Tour Team :sunglasses:

Kidding aside, cycling data is a fun ride.

haha, yes good point, a little awkward for sure.
I’m gutted for Cav, I hope he gets back to the top.

Post title is a little misleading. Was expecting race data and analytics not how the tour collects race data
