First names
Which name showed up, and which name was quick
Every classified finisher of L'Étape du Tour 2014 — Pau → Hautacam grouped by first name. Accented spellings are merged — Frédéric and Frederic are one name here, which changes who tops the board.
A name needs 21 entries to appear on the median board. That floor scales with the field rather than being the same number on a 777-finisher race and a 57,516-finisher one.
The counts below are everyone recorded under a name, classified or not — the timekeeper’s own name totals are row counts. Each name’s own page lists the classified riders and says how many more started.
