MTB east Mens Elite, S1, S2 and FUN stats

Here comes Part 2 of our statistical deep dive — now with colours!

This one shows the same lap time data as before, but in a slightly more eye-friendly way. Think of it as a heatmap of how everyone’s legs were feeling. The darker the green, the faster the rider; the darker the red, the more “character building” that lap might have been.

It’s genuinely interesting to see patterns appear — riders who started like they were being chased, then eased off a bit… others who found their rhythm lap by lap, or those whose lap times tell the story of a good day, a bad day, or maybe just one too many energy gels in the tech zone.

Again, we’ve stuck to the first 4 laps of each race, since that’s the point where almost everyone was still out there giving it beans. No judgment, no podium shaming — just a fun way to look back on how the season unfolded, one lap at a time.
