Tour de France: Where Have the Winners Come From? is an interactive map showing the abode countries of all the winners of the Tour de France. Using the map yous tin go thought the geographical spread of all the Tour winners since 1903.
I establish the results a niggling surprising. Having grown-up during the stream when Lance Armstong seemed to dominate the race well-nigh every twelvemonth (his wins are manifestly immediately expunged from the records) I was expecting the race winners to survive a fleck to a greater extent than global. However apart from the American Greg LeMond (winner 1986) all the winners of the race bring been born inwards Europe.
French Republic dominates the map, although Kingdom of Belgium seems to create a disproportionate pose out of swell cyclists. Another surprise to me was that the swell cycling friendly province of the Netherlands has alone produced ii winners of the Tour de France.
The map itself was created amongst the underused jVectorMap library.
