Dubbeldam, TU Delft Dr. J. G. Spandaw, TU Delft An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/. 0.1. ABSTRACT This report examines the possibility of modeling the performance of profes- sional cyclists of Team Sunweb using Bayesian Networks. This research has an objective to see how these structures work and how they fit in the complex world of cycling. We want to compare different cyclists of Team Sunweb in the Grand Tours (Giro d’Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España) of the year 2016 and build a model for the leader - who is supported by a group of helpers - dur- ing different stages in a given race and see if we can predict the pedal power in the crucial part of the race, i.e. the sprint or a last difficult climb. We can con- clude that the Bayesian network we created with the combination of help from an expert and the data captures the most common relationships between all variables, but that the model doesn’t reveal surprising relationships or good predictions.

    MONDAY, JUNE 20, 2016 19 Misfiring Ronaldo: Portugal foiled by mediocre Austria PARIS: Cristiano Ronaldo missed a second-half penal- ty as Portugal stumbled to a second straight draw at FAN FERVOR Euro 2016 on Saturday after a frustrating 0-0 stale- mate against Group F rivals Austria in Paris. Ronaldo set a new Portuguese record with his 128th interna- tional cap, surpassing the mark previously shared with Luis Figo, but the occasion will be better remem- bered for the Real Madrid superstar hitting the post with a 79th-minute spot-kick. Hungary, who salvaged a point in a 1-1 draw with Iceland, are the surprise group leaders with a game to play, while Austria must win their final match to avoid exiting prematurely. “This is not the result we wanted. It’s not fair, it’s not deserved but that’s football,” said Portugal coach Fernando Santos. “It’s no use crying over spilt milk, it’s not the time to have regrets. “We have another point and we have a ‘final’ to play on the 22nd (against Hungary), we have to focus on winning the next match.” Santos sought to reinvigorate his team after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Iceland, drafting in Ricardo Quaresma to form an attacking trident with Ronaldo and Nani. William Carvalho was handed a start in central midfield, while Austria coach Marcel Koller made three changes, two enforced, with Sebastian Prodl, Stefan Ilsanker and Marcel Sabitzer all coming into the side beaten 2-0 by Hungary on Tuesday.
