Building on its status as official ride partner for the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes, Strava has released some stats that spotlight this year’s Tour de France, which was won convincingly by Tadej Pogačar.
- Since it started in Florence, Italy, on June 29, and finished in Nice, France, on July 21, the 2024 Tour de France saw a total of 1,770 segments on Strava crowned with new KOMs (segment records).
- Tadej Pogacar overtook fellow pro rider Wout van Aert as the most followed athlete on Strava, with a follower base of over 732,000 athletes (at the time of writing).
- As Strava’s most followed athlete, Tadej Pogačar achieved 288 KOMs this year – 16% of all KOMs set during the Tour.
- Per rider, the average number of calories burnt was 84,000 over the course of the race. Strava points out that this is equivalent to approximately 308 croissants, 1,200 macarons or 3,111 medium sized bananas.
- The pro peloton is renowned for the impressive speeds at which it travels through the French countryside during the Tour. This year, the average speed was 38.7 kph, or 24.1 mph.
In March 2022, Strava announced a three-year partnership with the Tour de France and the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. This partnership recognises Strava as the Official Ride Partner and brings together the world’s largest sports community with the world’s most iconic cycling event.
