some light analysis of bikepacking races
all credit for the original data goes to https://dotwatcher.cc/ - a fantastic site to follow along with your favorite bike races alongside real time tracking and great commentary!
It's important to note that this data is likely not totally complete nor totally accurate, so please take the following with the appropriate sized grain of salt.
- Number of Riders Year over Year (gauge of popularity)
- Number of Races Year over Year (yet another gauge of popularity)
- Top 10 Races by Number of Riders
- Top 10 Races by Distance (2024)
- Top 10 Races by Average Finish Time
- Top 10 Riders by Wins (Podium Positions - placing 1,2,3)
- Top 10 Riders by Most Time in Saddle (who spends the most time racing regardless of winning or not?)
- Top 10 Riders by Race Participation
So without further ado:
