Introduction

As part of the Maven Tour de France challenge, we have to put ourselves in the shoes of a data visualization expert working for Amaury Sport Organisation, the company that organizes the annual Tour de France cycling race.

The Tour de France is one of the most watched live sporting events in the world, but most viewers come from European countries.
