There are 132 participants out of 132 in my database.
Results per team
The "StProb" column indicates the probability that an equally sized team would win the same number of stages, assuming each participating rider had an equal chance of winning a stage. A probability of 0.50 indicates that the team won exactly as expected, a probability close to 0 indicates that the team won fewer stages than expected, and a probability close to 1 indicates that the team won more stages than expected.
The "GCProb" and "Lexico" columns indicate how well the team performed in the overall ranking. For both, a higher number is better; GCProb ranges from minus infinity to plus infinity, with an average of 0; Lexico ranges from 0 to 1, with an average of 0.5.

Results per country
The "StProb" column indicates the probability that a country with this many riders would win the same number of stages, assuming each participating rider had an equal chance of winning a stage. A probability of 0.50 indicates that the country won exactly as expected, a probability close to 0 indicates that the country won fewer stages than expected, and a probability close to 1 indicates that the country won more stages than expected.
The "GCProb" and "Lexico" columns indicate how well the country performed in the overall ranking. For both, a higher number is better; GCProb ranges from minus infinity to plus infinity, with an average of 0; Lexico ranges from 0 to 1, with an average of 0.5.

Solos
From reports of the stages of this Tour, I have calculated the length of the solo rides. A solo is when a rider is riding in front of the race, without any other riders. Time trials don't count for this. There is sometimes uncertainty about when a solo started or ended: the dark green bar indicates the solo length that I am certain of, the light green bar indicates the maximum that it could be.
