Return to: 2007 Results - Overall

2007 Notes

As in 2003, the official 2007 results are ordered by rider's last name. The 2007 time-ordered results list on this site has become very very popular. The source file I used was the original one that appeared on the official PBP site following the 2007 event. Unfortunately it predates the valuable correcting and harmonizing work done by Alain Collongues which replace the earlier file on the PBP site in January 2008. I'm not sure how much he changed the 2007 list. I'm hesitant to make the switch to the newer file because of all the time it would take to paste in the image links. The excel work file I link to from my main results page is Alain's later corrected file.

The image links are a new feature for 2007, and were made possible by the explosion of photos posted on the internet. Further discussion HERE.

Thanks to Oliver "Sherlock" Portway (speedy Australian ancien 1995, 99) who sorted out the mystery of who is who in the group of 10 first finishers, and why they have three different times though they finished together. Further discussion of this HERE.

Thanks to Micheal Lau from Ottawa for doing some of the statistical trench work on these pages: Participation by country & Stats Summary (at bottom of page.)
Here is his work file (Excel).

And finally, thanks to Alain Collongues for allowing me to reprint his four excellent statistical analysis articles. HERE.

Here are two files of more local interest: 2007 BC Randonneurs & 2007 Canadians.
