In 2018, Simon Yates cracked on the Colle delle Finestre and lost the maglia rosa.
In 2025, he returned to the same climb โ€” and won the Giro.
This chart shows how he flipped the script. public.flourish.studio/visualisatio...

I've always liked those 'hedgehog' charts showing forecasts through time, so I had a go an animating one using Flourish. This version shows shows how projected inflation paths have evolved across successive Fed meetings #30daychartchallenge day 25 - risk

Had to make a racing line chart of the main protagonists throughout this yearโ€™s Masters. Great to see Rory survive the pressure and finally claim the green jacket and complete the career Grand Slam #DataViz #Masters2025 #sportsvizsunday

Yes very common, as it is much easier to ride in a group than solo. Main resistance in a flat race like this is the wind so they will work together (often with rival teams) and share turns at the front while the others shelter in the draft.

Yes, or very close together. Uses the beeswarm option in Flourish scatter

China ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ and India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ may have similar total populations today, but their futures look very different.

Chinaโ€™s population is aging rapidly, while Indiaโ€™s working-age population is still expanding ๐Ÿ“ˆ
