Tour de France 2013: week two in numbers

The middle week of the Tour de France – stages ten to 15 – saw Chris Froome (Team Sky) dominate the general classification in his bid to become the second successive Briton to win cycling’s greatest race.

An incident-packed week also saw Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) bounce back to record his second victory of the 2013 race and 25th Tour stage win in total to move the Manx Missile up to joint third in the all-time list and becomes the new title holder of “most road stage wins in the tour throughout Tour de France history” [all the other greats have bumped up their totals with time trials].

Meanwhile, Cavendish’s team-mate, Tony Martin, won the individual time trial on stage 11 at an astonishing average speed of 54.271km/h. That’s just one of the stats plucked from our latest infographic provided by Cycling Shorts partners RoadCyclingUK – week two in numbers.

Tour de France - Week 2 in Numbers

Guide to the Nice Cycle Hire Scheme

The folks at Momondo have provided Cycling Shorts with a series of five useful infographics on European city bike schemes. The staff at Momndo put it together in their spare time. So a big thank you goes out the them.

When going on a city break, the best way to explore a city is by bike. You’re plans can be more flexible, it allows to truly experience the city, you can go at your own pace and discover places and streets that one would not see when taking the boring old tours buses. Government sponsored bike schemes make it really easy to do.

The fifth and final city in the series is:

 

Nice
The fifth largest city in France provides you with the perfect scenery for a nice bike ride through the town. The region is breath-taking. Its architecture is Roman-inspired, it has scenic bay views that are just perfect for a few holiday snaps and the fascinating old town is best discovered on a bike rather than on a bus.
