Tour de France: Where Have the Winners Come From? is an interactive map showing the habitation countries of all the winners of the Tour de France. Using the map you lot tin plow over the sack sentiment the geographical spread of all the Tour winners since 1903.
I works life the results a niggling surprising. Having grown-up during the menses when Lance Armstong seemed to dominate the race close every twelvemonth (his wins are apparently straight off expunged from the records) I was expecting the race winners to live on a chip to a greater extent than global. However apart from the American Greg LeMond (winner 1986) all the winners of the race convey been born inward Europe.
French Republic dominates the map, although Kingdom of Belgium seems to hit a disproportionate pose out of corking cyclists. Another surprise to me was that the corking cycling friendly province of the Netherlands has alone produced 2 winners of the Tour de France.
The map itself was created amongst the underused jVectorMap library.
