Historic Tour De France Dataset

Context

As of now the race of Tour De France is traveling around France, and different riders have been doing so for many years. I wanted to explore the history of Tour De France from a data perspective. That was my motivation for gathering this dataset.

Content

The dataset contains 2236 stages over 8 different variables:

• Stage - The stage number of the stage in the respective year.
• Date - Self explanatory. The date ranges from 1st of July 1903 to 23rd of July 2017.
• Distance - The distance in km of the stage.
• Origin - The name of the city for which the stage starts.
• Destination - The name of the city for which the stage ends.
• Type - The type of the stage. There are 18 different stages. Some very similar.
• Winner - The name of the winner of the stage.
• Winner_Country - The country of the winner.

Inspiration

I have answer questions of my own in my kernel. There are still lots of questions to answered. Further, one can expand the dataset in many ways.
