All cycling enthusiasts have come across, in one way or another, the expression slope gradient of a climb. The slope gradient represents the number of meters we climb in altitude over a given piece of terrain. This slope gradient is given as a percentage (%). If we have an ascent of 6 kilometres (d) with the peak at 1200 meters of altitude (h) and the beginning of the ascent to sea level (0 meters of altitude), the slope gradient is 20%. Slope gradient = (1200 ÷ 6000) × 100 If we have an ascent of 4 kilometres (d) with the peak at 1000 metres of altitude and the beginning of the ascent at 600 metres of altitude (h = 1000 – 600 = 400), the slope gradient is 10%. Slope gradient = (400 ÷ 4000) × 100 I hope this expression is simpler for you and that you enjoyed the publication.
The Tour of Flanders race is one of the most exciting and ingenious classics on the entire World Tour calendar. To be honest, it's one of my top-3 favourite races. I'll leave you with a method to analyse and predict a race's outcome based on computational analysis. The analysis will be based between 2010-2019, due the calendar is normal and not exist the pandemic of Covid-19. And the change of the race date outside the cobles classic season, making it impossible to correctly analyse the data.
