Does anyone know of a source or repository containing any sort of data-driven statistics on pro cyclists? Or if there is anywhere that breaks down major races into "play-by-play" sequences with subsequent results?

I work at a lab that does a lot of data mining research, and an emerging topic of interest is sports data mining. I haven't found any academic papers on cycling and sports data mining, so I am looking to try investigate the topic to see if I can come up with anything interesting.

Anything you think might be relevant would be helpful as I do not know of any resources out there. Once again, I'm looking for any collection of data-driven statistics about cycling available.

If anyone is interested in the topic, this is a nerdy but interesting read: http://creativity-online.com/news/da...le-tour/137926

Thanks very much
