Compare GC leaders/winners, Hill Sprint winners, Flat sprint winners, Hill Climb leaders (poka dot), etc.
Rider weight, bike weight, etc.
How many riders are logging power stats?
Yeah. You can through Strava for some people. Nathan Brown has some outright ungodly numbers from the TdF last year or the year before when he got the Polka Dot jersey for a day. Kwiat's world champs victory is on there. Hayman's Paris Roubaix victory. Egan Bernal has a lot of other-worldly data before Sky. There's also lots of Milan San Remo stuff, and lots of "regular" riders posting stuff from races all throughout the year. You can suss out a ton of numbers. And those numbers are hard to fathom.
