Since we only know the position
of a rider when they reach a timestation, we don't know how far a rider
has gotten beyond the last timestation they hit. Between timestations, we
treat each rider as moving at their average speed between those stations.
The playback speed of the GIF version seems to vary greatly from machine
to machine and browser to browser (runs very slowly in some versions of
IE).
Solo riders are circles. Teams are squares.
The legend is sorted by rider position in the race, with the leading rider in each category listed first. For further details about rider position, see the 2006 Race Report.
