The final episode in a series on ADF DVT applied to the Tour de France 2011 results. In this series, I have used many of the ADF DVT Graph components. In this article, I will use the Spark Chart component to integrate condensed data visualizations inside a table with ‘regular’ data.

The result is a table that lists the top 10 of the final overall ranking of the Tour de France, with for each ride in the top 10 two spark charts:

  • the positition in the overall standings at the end of each stage
  • the gap with Cadel Evans at the end of each stage (needless to say this chart is fairly pointless for Cadel Evans himself)

The resulting page with the table including the two spark charts looks like this:

Note that the Spark Chart for overall rank displays the #1 position at the top and lower rankings towards the bottom.

We can see from the table how for example the number 10 – Peraud – gradually worked his way up in the ranking – while just as gradually getting further behind Cadel Evans. We also see how Voeckler came to the top somewhere midway and then ever so slightly had to let go of that top position. Only the first three days and the last three days saw him behind Evans.
