This interactive Tour de France winner predictor is built for fans who want to explore race scenarios instead of reading a static list of favourites. Select a stage and the tool compares rider strengths, team support, and route characteristics to display the most suitable contenders for that profile.

You can use the stage predictor to scan likely winners, test a personal rider pick, compare two riders on the same route, or evaluate which team looks best matched to the terrain. The app is designed to support Tour de France prediction searches, stage-by-stage analysis, and fast interactive comparisons while keeping the scoring engine server-side.

The current release uses a pilot dataset that will be expanded over time. Its purpose is to create a playful, explainable Tour de France prediction experience that can grow with richer rider, team, and stage information.

How it works

A playful predictor, backed by structured race profiles

The app combines stage type, rider traits, and team support scores through a model hosted in a Cloudflare Worker. The visible page stays light; the prediction engine itself remains server-side.

This first release is intentionally a pilot. It gives us the full interaction system now, then the dataset can grow toward the complete Tour start list and all 21 stages.

01

Pick a stage

The route profile sets the race logic: punch, climbs, time trial, or team collective strength.

02

Run the model

The Worker calculates scores securely and returns only the result payload needed by the page.

03

Read the verdict

Animated score bars, rankings, and reason snippets make the result easy to scan and share.
