Le Tour 2007
That’s it for the 2007 chaos tour. Looking at the time distributions makes everybody above the median quite suspicious … more doping cases to come – maybe including A.C.
Although many people claim little interest in the tour after the many doping cases, this is all the more a reason to check whether we will find a structural change of the 2007 race compared to the races of the years 2006 and 2005.

(Thanks to Sergej for updating the scripts)
Will it be possible to get the dataset from the following years 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009? I am using it for a school project.
Thank you in advance.
Sure, should I send the data to the e-mail address associated with your comment?
(I am surprised that I didn’t post the data for these years on the blog …)
yes, thank you very much.
would it be possible for me to ask further questions regarding data analysis? I’m writing a major assignment, and would be very grateful for your help.
