Credits

Every photograph on this site, the photographer who took it, the licence it is published under, and the sources behind the trip numbers.

Photographs

The pictures on the race cards come from Wikimedia Commons, where every file carries a licence anybody can read. We use only the ones published under a Creative Commons licence or released into the public domain, and the licence each one came under is printed beside it below. Nothing has been altered: a picture is cropped to the shape of the box it sits in, and where a course line is drawn over one it is drawn in the page, not into the file.

The band at the top of the home page is Florence by Wikibusters, CC BY-SA 4.0.

Film stills

The picture on a film card, and the picture behind the play button, is a frame of that film. The films are flown over Google Earth imagery, so the frames carry it too: aerial imagery from Google Earth, and the imagery providers credited on screen in each film. That credit is printed on every screen that shows one, which is what our permission to use the imagery asks for.

The frames are served from this site rather than from YouTube's own thumbnail host, which is Google's. Nothing on a film page is requested from anybody else until you press play.

Trip data

Planning a trip around a race puts three numbers on the screen that we did not measure ourselves. Here is who did.
