Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 19 (Castelnau-Magnoac – Cahors, 188.3k)

[BR2]

I'm so, so annoyed by the motos. Where's the fun in a chase like that?

 

[Didinho]

Supporting for Philipsen. If not, Sagan or Jakobsen please

 

[noob]

How boring if they catch the break

 

[Danskebjerge]

BikeExchange waiting, once again.

No doubt there are better climbers than Geschke. But we’ve all watched racing long enough to know how these things work. Do we really think Peter Sagan was the best sprinter all those years he won he green jersey? He always consistently finished near the top and that’s one way to win it.

Peter Sagan and Simpson's Paradox: How the 'worst' sprinter keeps winning the green jersey

Despite not winning a stage, Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo) was undoubtedly one of the most impressive performers at this year’s Tour de France. His remarkable consistency (12 top-10 finishes) earned him the green ‘sprinters jersey’, despite changes to the points classification designed to favour...

Armstrong has a point, of course. But he is also seems most himself when he’s trashing something or someone. We all know the type.

To give my 2 cents about this too, I might be wrong but what that article is describing simply isn't the simpson paradox right? If my memory serves me right the simpson paradox is a very well defined one and just because something sounds vaguely like the outcome of that paradox that doesn't make it the same paradox (though I really don't think paradox is even the correct word for the sagan case).

Jumbo fn idiots lool

 

[Sciatic]

Was that a castle or a keep?

Good point. The flag was so big it was hard to see what was underneath

 

[Didinho]

Wout working for Laporte? Or riding 8km and winning himself

 

[Tim Cahill]

Working for Laporte you'd think

That was my reaction. Nothing about Sagan is paradoxical at all...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Great moment for a flyer, slingshot off that break ahead

 

[Phillip O'Garner]

Ineos to initiate mass pile up at 3.5km. Thomas rides into yellow.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

where's Pog?

No safer place than on Wout's wheel at the front for V.

 

[Bonimenier]

JV scared of crashes?

As far as I remember, Simpson's paradox, which also goes by several other names, is a phenomenon in probability and statistics in which a trend appears in several groups of data but disappears or reverses when the groups are combined. This result is often encountered in social-science and medical-science statistics,[1][2][3] and is particularly problematic when frequency data are unduly given causal interpretations.[4] The paradox can be resolved when confounding variables and causal relations are appropriately addressed in the statistical modeling.[4][5] Simpson's paradox has been used to illustrate the kind of misleading results that the misuse of statistics can generate.[6][7]

This is off the top of my head, so take it with a grain of salt.

 

[Danskebjerge]

So bad by BikeExchange.

 

[Warhawk]

Nice to see they added a slalom stage this year.

Something for Kristoff!

It's interesting watching him place his hand on other riders to ask them to give room so he can stay on Wout's wheel.

Selfish. Too lazy to sprint himself.

 

[RedheadDane]

Van Aert not sprinting today.
Rolf says 12 seconds.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

I am shocked Wout sat up

 

[johnymax]

Van Aert trying really hard to show the World he is not selfish...
Too late Wout, you already showed your true colors.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Van Aert not sprinting today.

I think Wout sprints. He can't help himself.
