He shows who was most consistent across all sectors and across all races. Really interesting stuff. I like the last two graphs: who had most consistently fast races across all three sectors, and then the gap to the "ideal season".

It really shows how fit and consistent Stevie Smith was, but also Troy. I know lots of people have said it before, but this shows how strong this kid really is. Not that he wasn't before, but he's definitely one to watch next and in subsequent years.

I wonder if Gwin will be able to get his mental edge and fitness back... and how Brooke might have fared throughout all this... frig, is it April 2014 yet?!?!

Yeah seriously dude, what gives? I mean it can't take that long to find and process every race result ever recorded for nearly every downhill rider in US and Europe and manage a site that innovatively compares results whilst holding down a day job. Sheesh, pull your thumb out! ;)

No doubt, Troy is one of my favorite riders. But not sure if you noticed, another young kid from France went completely nuclear this year and eclipsed Troy. I wonder if Loic's had any big off yet though? That tends to shrink the balls a bit...

yeah, I noticed... but he didn't have the consistency in the "rankings by race part" graph that Troy and Smith had. But really, there's only two "blips" in his consistency, and those were his Sector 2s in Hafjell and MSA. Easily attributable to a single error in each. Another one to watch for sure.
