    Biomatematický model BMM: Tour de France - 11. etapa Na programu jubilejní 100 Tour de France chyběl klasický prolog a tak jsme vhodnou trať pro BMM museli počkat až do 11. etapy, kdy přišla na řadu první individuální časovka. Náročnost 33km dlouhé trati notně zvyšoval silný vítr, se kterým se všichni závodníci potýkali. Hned v úvodu nasadil nepřekonatelnou laťku favorizovaný Tony Martin (Omega Pharma-Quick step), se kterým vyrovnanou partii sehrál jen žlutý Chris Froome (Sky Procycling), výrazně tím navyšující své celkové vedení. Mezi ostatními jezdci top 10 to byla vyrovnaná bitva. Roman Kreuziger (Team Saxo-Tinkoff) zajel výborně a udržel celkové 5. místo a samozřejmě velmi emotivním zážitkem pro všechny byla ostrá jízda paralympika Jirky Ježka v roli oficiálního předjezdce.

  • Presseinformasjon Sponsoravtalen Har Vært En Suksess for Hansgrohe
    Presseinformasjon Medvind for sykellaget BORA-hansgrohe i 2017 Sponsoravtalen har vært en suksess for hansgrohe Januar 2018. Det er vanskelig å ønske seg et bedre første år for hansgrohe som tittelsponsor på sykkelsportens høyeste nivå: Allerede i BORA-hansgrohes første sesong oppnådde UCI- laget fire seiere og ytterligere ni pallplasser i de tre store, europeiske løpene. I tillegg satte superstjernen Peter Sagan en historisk rekord: For tredje år på rad kunne han ta på seg den regnbuestripete verdensmestertrøyen etter en storslått sluttspurt ved verdensmesterskapet i landeveisritt i Bergen. Det har ingen annen atlet gjort før. Den store suksessen og 8.-plassen på UCI-rankingen har gitt sykkellaget og dermed merket hansgrohe stor omtale, og armatur- og dusjspesialistens investering er tjent hjem mange ganger. Stigende kjennskap til hansgrohe Tittelsponsoravtalen er en del av hansgrohes globale marketingstrategi som skal fremme forbrukernes kjennskap til merket hansgrohe. Allerede etter 2017-sesongen kan Hansgrohe Group konstatere at strategien virker – både i store sykkelnasjoner som Frankrike og Belgia, og også i Norge. Med Peter Sagan som frontfigur har hansgrohe i året som er gått brukt sponsoravtalen aktivt til å kople store sykkelprestasjoner sammen med avslapping under dusjen. hansgrohe fortsetter sponsoratet Etter første sesongs gode resultater ser hansgrohe frem til BORA-hansgrohe-sesongen 2018. Den begynner med Santos Tour Down Under i Australia hvor rytterne kjører i det nye lagtøyet med hansgrohes logo og farver i mye tydeligere form enn siste år. De nye lagtrøyene ble presentert av laget på hansgrohes hovedsete i Schiltach, Sør-Tyskland, i desember. Med fire nye ryttere på laget er det nå et enda sterkere BORA-hansgrohe som er klar til bl.a.

With a unique team performance, Peter Sagan managed to win the tenth stage of the Tour of Italy and ultimately also the Maglia Ciclamo. It is the eighth pointed jersey of the Slovakian rider's career. The only downer for the professional team was the retirement of Emanuel Buchmann after a crash at the beginning of the 15th stage of the race.

  • 2011-2012 CSA Annual Report and Financial Statement
    ANNUAL REPORT 2011/12 SHAPING TOMORROW We live in the most exciting era of sporting development. A time when full contact sport no longer holds centre stage. It is a passage of time when the art of sport is appreciated over the physicality of competition. Today, latent skills and blossoming talent have a place amongst our youth and the generations to come. It is now the subtle brilliance of deftness, the art of touch, mastery of stroke and pure strategic guile that has turned cricket into the sport of the future. Today cricket is the stage for mental agility and peak physical condition. It is purity of both mind and spirit that produces champions. The re-invention of cricket globally has rejuvenated a desire to master the ultimate game. A sense of camaraderie pursued by both men and women alike. It’s now a passion for gamesmanship, integrity, honesty and fair play. It is a game that can be embraced and played or supported by everyone. We can’t undo the past, but we can shape the future. We do what we do today in cricket, for what will happen TOMORROW.
