In a few weeks, the riders of the Tour de France will start to climb the first mountains of the race. But mountains come in all shapes and sizes - and most of them are not even real mountains! So some years ago, I began to gather information about the climbs of the Tour de France. That means that my analysis of the Tour's categorized climbs is now based on data from ten editions of the French stage race.

I've just published the results of this year's examination, and I recommend looking at the full analysis here:

But if you're busy, and maybe even know all about categories already, there is a short version, too:
