  • 2021 Cyclist Bible 2021 Cyclist
    2021 CYCLIST BIBLE 39TH ANNUAL LOGAN, UTAH TO JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING BIKE RACE HOW IT ALL BEGAN The LoToJa was started in 1983 by two Logan cyclists, David Bern, a student at Utah State University, and Jeff Keller, the owner of Sunrise Cyclery. The two men wanted a race that resembled the difficulty of a one-day European classic, like Paris-Roubaix or the Tour of Flanders. LoToJa's first year featured seven cyclists racing 192 miles from Logan to a finish line in Jackson's town square. The winning time was just over nine hours by Logan cyclist, Bob VanSlyke. Since then, LoToJa has grown into one of the nation’s premier amateur cycling races and continues to be a grueling test of one's physical and mental stamina. Many compete to win their respective category, while others just ride to cross the finish line. At 200+ miles, LoToJa is the longest one-day USAC-sanctioned bicycle race in the country.

  • Laurent JALABERT (Fra) Cycliste Professionnel De 1989 À 2002 Face Au Dopage
    27 juin 2020 Laurent JALABERT (Fra) Cycliste professionnel de 1989 à 2002 Face au dopage POST-IT – Laurent Jalabert, que ce soit dans ses commentaires TV, ses interviews ou ses écrits ne m’a jamais convaincu qu’il était contre le dopage. A la télévision, les épreuves cyclistes, je les regarde en priorité sur Eurosport, en deuxième sur la chaîne L’Equipe et en dernier sur France Télévisions. Libres-échanges Commentaires du Panda du Tarn (citations par ordre chronologique) 1. Interrogé sur la rumeur colportant que la domination des coureurs italiens serait due à l’ÉPO, un produit miracle, Laurent Jalabert s’insurge : « Je ne me suis jamais intéressé à cette rumeur. C’est assez français de se demander ce que prend le voisin pour vous battre, sans chercher à savoir combien il a pu bosser pour en arriver là. Il n’y a qu’à écouter les conversations de début de saison : le Français avoue 5 000 kilomètres d’entraînement, l’Italien 12 000. Qui a tort : l’Italien qui a bossé tout l’hiver ou le Français qui a passé décembre sur la plage ou dans les boîtes de nuit ? Moi, je crois au travail. » [in « Laurent Jalabert : ’’Bosser comme un fou m’a donné la hargne’’ de Claude Droussent .- L’Équipe Magazine, 1995, n° 682, 8 avril, pp 42-48 (p 46)] COMMENTAIRES Dr JPDM C’est le même discours que l’on entendait à propos de la domination de la RDA. Les athlètes s’entraînaient plus sauf que lorsqu’une nation domine les autres, la part du dopage approche les 100 pour cent.
