  • Worldteams Profiles
    KEY RIDER BIOS | WORLDTEAMS PROFILES WORLDTEAMS AG2R LA MONDIALE (FRA) In the top flight for the past 24 years, the French squad shone once more at this year’s Tour de France, with Romain Bardet— who’ll be among the stars racing here in Canada—finishing second in the general classification. A season‐win total stuck at six has taken some of the shine off that success, but the fact remains that Vincent Lavenu’s team has been influential all season long. Founded in: 1992. Wins in 2016 (as of Aug. 22): 6 RIDERS TO WATCH Romain Bardet (FRA): Age 24, turned pro in 2012. Palmarès: 5 wins including two stages of the Tour de France. This season: 1 win; 2nd in the Tour de France, 2nd in the Critérium du Dauphiné, 2nd in the Tour of Oman. In 2016, this French climbing specialist continued his impressive rise to the higher echelons of world cycling, proving that he was one of the few men who could give Chris Froome a run for his money, both in the Critérium du Dauphiné and the Tour de France. Though tired after the Rio Olympics, he’ll be eager for end‐of‐season success in Canada, where he has done well in the past (5th in Montréal in 2014, and 7th last year). Alexis Vuillermoz (FRA): Age 28, turned pro in 2013. Palmarès: 5 wins including Stage 8 of the 2015 Tour de France. This season: 2nd in the GP de Plumelec, 3rd in the French National Championships. A series of crashes and health worries have kept his former mountain biking specialist from fulfilling the promise of his exciting 2015 season.

  • Cabinet Report
    AGENDA ITEM ii SUBJECT: Cycling – Funding request for Monmouthshire to Host Stage 3 Tour of Britain September 9th 2014 MEETING: CABINET DATE: 7th May 2014 DIVISION/WARDS AFFECTED: All 1. PURPOSE: 1.1 To agree a budget of £40k from reserves for Monmouthshire to host the Welsh Stage 3 of the Tour of Britain Cycling event. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS: 2.1 Cabinet agrees to allocate £40k from Reserves to host Stage 3, including the finish, of the 2014 Tour of Britain Cycling within Monmouthshire on September 9th 2014. 2.2 Cabinet supports the huge opportunity that this event provides. 3. KEY ISSUES: 3.1 The Tour of Britain is a worldwide brand giving Monmouthshire scope to market its offer to many different countries and networks. The race will travel through many areas within Monmouthshire including the Wye Valley and other tourist attractions finishing on the Tumble climb, near Abergavenny. The final route will be finalised by Tour of Britain Technical Team in conjunction with the Council. 3.2 The Tour of Britain is organised in conjunction with Welsh Government, British Cycling and a company called Sweetspot. The huge financial and commercial side of the brand means that for a small investment the County can benefit from worldwide coverage. 3.3 Robust evaluation data is available from previous 3 years events and these demonstrate critical data on event spectators, media coverage pre/post event, worldwide viewing figures and economic benefit. See Appendix 1&2 Tour Of Britain Media Report and economic impact report from last year. 3.4 Monmouthshire has limited opportunities to stage such a high profile world-wide sporting event reaching out to global audiences.

  • Peloton Formations
    Peloton Formations by Richard Martin (April 2014 – November 2016) richardmartinwriter.com [email protected] 1 Contents Preface (3) Peloton formations (5) Peloton interview (11) The baroudeur (18) The climber (21) The sprinter (24) The rouleur (28) The puncheur (30) Road captain (33) Who leads? (36) The apprentice’s craft (39) Race day (42) What counts? (45) Ready to jump (49) 2 Preface This is a collection of blog posts, articles and an interview produced between 2014 and 2016. When I started to explore the topic of peloton formations, I was involved in a change programme in an organisation that seemed stuck; weighed down by process, bureaucracy and deference to hierarchy. At the same time, I had joined different communities and online conversations where the possibility and opportunity for doing things differently were being discussed on a daily basis. My interest in road cycling became a lens through which I looked at these alternative practices but also provided a useful metaphor with which I could translate and communicate ideas to colleagues. This is the idea in a nutshell: The world needs responsive organisations. Companies that are agile and adaptive, responding to changes in context and circumstances. In professional cycling, the peloton is fluid. It moves towards its destination with common purpose. Yet roles shift within the peloton as a whole, and within each team, dependent on terrain, conditions and the individual cyclists themselves. Each team will have slightly different objectives on each day of racing. This affects the roles each rider takes on. Sometimes they will lead. On other occasions, they will be in service of their teammates.
