Vive le teamwork!After completing all 21 stages of the greatest cycling race in the world, the riders have travelled 3,529 km through Switzerland, France, Spain, and Andorra to complete the 103rd Tour de France this year.
Here’s a look at some of the stories powered by data we’ve collected on their dramatic journey to the finish line in Paris and … why it takes a team to win the Tour.

Teams face danger together… the dreaded descents
The stragglers are faster than the peloton – they generally descend faster than the other groups, who have more to lose.
Danger of descents = crashes
Teams go faster, together
