Another iteration on the #cycling power heat map. Each vertical strip represents 1km ridden, and the colors correspond to time spent in each power range during that km. This version also includes an elevation gain/loss viz, adding more context to the power chart above. #dataviz

Wild you can get -a whole emissions-free transportation system -that makes your city healthier and more pleasant/less noisy -for the cost of putting in a concrete slab to prevent its users from being hit by cars And most cities still refuse to do it

The plot on the bottom is the real meat of this graphic, but it loses context without the track maps on top. We're able to paint a clearer picture of overall on-track race pace by combining multiple visualizations than we could with any single one of them alone. #dataviz

Illustrating the impressive consistency of #INDYCAR driver Scott Dixon in the closing stages of this past weekend's #IndyTO. Most striking about the effort was his ability to hold a steady gap over 2nd place finisher Colton Herta over the final 20 laps, which we highlight here.

We're all aware by now: @rinusveekay was absolutely ripping in his Day 1 qualifying attempt. But look at the delta between him and the rest of the field in the segment from the bricks to the short chute. Eclipsing 240 going into turn 1...impressive #Indy500 #IndyCar

Folks! For those looking for a #IndyCar stats/viz, I'm shifting those posts to a new account, @rowsofthree. It will be dedicated solely this kind of content, freeing this personal account up for some additional topics. Follow along over there if you'd like!

Sensing a pattern here...the top 6 in the #FirestoneGP were generally quick in corners, but less so in the straights: *all* of them were below median entering turn 1. Not the only factor that put them up front, but informative w.r.t. the setup strategy of the top teams #INDYCAR

Another theme of yesterday's #FirestoneGP was a drop-off in pace due to tire degradation, particularly with respect to red tires. It was a problem for some more than others: compare @smclaughlin93 to @rinusveekay, whose first stints were both on reds. #INDYCAR

Further underscoring the uncontroversial hypothesis that "strategy matters", take a look at these 4. They started in different places but used a similar 3-stop strategy with an early 1st stop to switch to blacks. They drove the rest of the race together, finishing 15-18. #INDYCAR

.@Hinchtown's four stints on the day, shown on their own. Here we can see just how much he was able to pick up on his last stint relative to his first three, especially over the last ~40 green flag laps. #INDYCAR

In terms of pace over a stint, @Hinchtown and @josefnewgarden drove similar races for the first 3/4 of yesterday's #IowaCorn300. But Hinch found another gear on his 4th stint, allowing him to chase JNew down from nearly 5s back over just 30 laps. Here are each of their 4 stints.

I'm really liking these networks, actually. Just as a reminder, these show who was driving around whom on track during a race (or series of races). Here's one for Sunday's #KOHLERGP, which shows two fairly distinct groups, linked by @GrahamRahal and @BourdaisOnTrack. #INDYCAR

.@josefnewgarden dominated yesterday's race without being quickest on every section of the track, even ending up below average in the straights. But he was consistently fast in the corners and owned turns 6 and 7, clocking 5 out of the top 6 times in this section #INDYCAR

This is most of what you need to know about the race up front at the #KOHLERGP. Take a look at just how much @josefnewgarden dropped the rest of the field over the final stint, just when it started to look like @scottdixon9 or @RyanHunterReay might have something for him #INDYCAR
