[Data-modeling] Help. I am getting bogged down in the Mountains of the Tour de France, and the rest day is almost over.

[Ed Laurent]

Without getting too deep into the model, I'm wondering if you just want to
add race, rider, and award to your first CVT? The CVT w/ your notable
properties would then be

     race

mountain pass/mountain location

     type of climb (category)

     rider

     points

     award (e.g., winner)

Does this cover it or am I missing something?
