While we await the official results of LEL 2022, here are some statistics for the previous LEL pulled from the LRM results database
First record: 1989 - 1325km, 26 homologated Finishers
Latest records: 2017 - 1400km, 831 homologated Finishers
Totals for LEL History
2,663 homologated Finishers (fewer than I expected, it shows the huge grown in the event in the past 2 decades. In 1997 only 107 finishers)
3,723,350 km total ridden
278,065 hr 50 total ridden (that makes it an average finish time of 104hrs, obviously affected by the increasing distance)
If I could pull the database more easily I could come up with some more interesting stats, maybe a project for another time or person!
