It is a stunning map, all that work and they dont give us the full image of it. Regardless everyone knows red is faster and tastes better.

Seriously?
I'm not expressing an opinion. I am stating fact. Fact.
If I take the subway and cross the line at the NYC marathon first and am later disqualified by the official sport governing body can I still say I won?
The lying sociopath was disqualified. He did not win. Please move on.

We probably ought to just get off this doping issue in this thread. It's off topic.

The article is an advertisement for a ridiculously priced poster.
The "explosion of color" has more value as toilet paper than art, and even less as a topic of conversation.

The closing observation of the article should certainly be noted:
•The color blue took the lead in 1981, but since carbon fiberframeswere introduced, black is catching up fast.

The person conducting the study must have swallowed the blue pill instead of the red pill.
