With much fanfare, South African IT firm Dimension Data proclaimed that it was partnering with Amaury Sport Organisation, which owns the Tour de France, to "deliver [a] big data cycling analytics platform for the first time in the history of professional cycling." This would be accomplished through sensors installed on cyclists' seats, with the data collected and analyzed by Dimension Data's cloud-based platform and delivered to a website that could be customized by the users depending on which cyclists they wanted to follow. Unfortunately, the website is not live yet, even though the Tour de France is into its fourth day.
