  • CYCLING LEGENDS Autoworld in Het Thema Van De Tour De France!
    Persbericht Van 20 juni tot 25 augustus 2019 Autoworld - Brussel Stelt voor CYCLING LEGENDS Autoworld in het thema van de Tour de France! Deze zomer maken we een bijzonder moment mee: de Ronde van Frankrijk vertrekt dit jaar in Brussel! Om dit te vieren, organiseert Autoworld naast de expo over het honderdjarige bestaan van het merk Citroën, een unieke terugblik, waar u alles komt te weten over de geschiedenis van het wielrennen en zijn legenden, van het prille begin in 1819 tot nu. Wist je trouwens dat de hal van het jubelpark, waarin Autoworld nu gehuisvest is, in 1902 het toneel was voor het Auto – en fietssalon? Een ongewone tentoonstelling Omdat de Ronde van Frankrijk dit jaar in Brussel vertrekt, denken we ook terug aan de eerste zege van de grootste wielerkampioen aller tijden: Eddy Merckx. Wist u trouwens dat de gele trui dit jaar ook 100 jaar bestaat? Wat alles extra magisch maakt, is het feit dat Eddy Merckx het record draagt voor de meeste dagen in het geel tijdens de Ronde van Frankrijk. Hij heeft de felbegeerde kleur maar liefst 96 dagen lang gedragen. Dit legendarische stukje wielergeschiedenis komt tot leven in de tentoonstelling 'Cycling Legends', die verdeeld is in drie hoofdthema's: * 200 jaar verhalen over de grootste kampioenen (1819 – 2019), * de galerie over het honderdjarige bestaan van de gele trui (1919 – 2019) * een deel dat exclusief gewijd is aan de grootste Belgische kampioenen (1919 – 2019). Bereid u alvast voor op een golf van emoties wanneer u de fietsen, uitrusting en trofeeën van tal van kampioenen met eigen ogen ziet, naast een collectie zeldzame oude posters, historische documenten en andere interessante stukken.

  • Perspectives on Doping in Pro Cycling - 2: Inga Thompson
    The Outer Line A Roadmap to Repair Pro Cycling http://www.theouterline.com Perspectives on Doping in Pro Cycling - 2: Inga Thompson (Editors’ Note: This article is the second in a series of in-depth personal narratives about the impact of doping on the lives of people within or now outside of the sport of pro cycling. This series presents alternative views of how the doping culture has proliferated in the sport; new revelations of how it has caused harm to the people, economics, and governance of the sport, and; why the Cycling Independent Reform Commission's charter needs to look farther back in time than 1998 to make a lasting difference. Through this, we hope to stir constructive debate about how the sport can come to terms with the past in order to find a new way forward. Watch for other articles and perspectives over the next several weeks.) Mention the name Inga Thompson to a modern cycling fan, and you might get a raised eyebrow. “Inga who?” But to fans and observers of the sport from the 1980s and early 1990s, Inga Thompson was perhaps one of the most successful and influential women in cycling. From her meteoric debut on the American scene in 1984, to her final major race – a dominating victory in the 1993 US Women’s National Road Race – Inga proved herself to be one of the greatest women’s racers the sport has ever seen. And yet right after that 1993 championship, Inga quietly packed up, moved away from her long- time residence in Reno, and for almost twenty years severed all ties with the sport and the people with whom she trained and competed.

  • 371 – March 2018 (2)
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal James Tomlinson NEWSLETTER No. 371 – MARCH 2018 (2) Wednesday 28 March 2018 – Meeting The society extends a warm welcome to this evening’s speaker, Adrian Aymes, on his return to the Society. He first addressed members in September 2000, during his benefit year. ADRIAN NIGEL AYMES was born in Southampton on 4 June 1964, and attended Bellemoor School. He came late to first-class cricket. He joined the Hampshire staff when 21 years of age in 1986 but did not gain a regular place until he finally displaced Bob Parks some four years later. He gave notice of what was to follow on his first-class debut against Surrey at The Oval in 1987. With Hampshire in trouble, he battled to 58 not out. Subsequently, no player in the first-class game during the 1990s sold his wicket more dearly. He was undefeated in a high proportion of his innings, which spoke volumes for his technique, temperament and sheer cussedness. With Robin Smith, he became the beating heart and consciousness of the Hampshire batting. If he took root and dug in, Hampshire were generally assured of a competitive total. All of his eight centuries were made in adversity. Of all Hampshire’s wicket-keepers, only his successor, Nic Pothas, has a higher batting average. He was a passionately proud professional, and never gave less than his best. He was fortunate to keep wicket to two of the genuinely great bowlers in the history of the game. At the start of his career, he stood back to the incomparable Malcolm Marshall; latterly, he kept to the unique Shane Warne.

Uit de verte klinkt als­ maar luidruchtiger "Opgepast". de renners zijn in aantocht! De renners zijn in aantocht!" van een in topvorm verkerende speaker.

Daverend op hun vel­ gen draaien die sterke kerels één na één, als aan een draad gebonden, in volle concentratie en met het rechter been gespannen, door de linke bocht.

  • Terugblik Op De Carriere Van Ex-Profwielrenner Matthijs De Koning
    Terugblik op de carrière van ex-profwielrenner Matthijs de Koning. De finish van de Tour de France is op zondag 29 juli geweest. Veel renners hebben om allerlei redenen de finish niet bereikt. Het uitrijden van de belangrijkste wielerwedstijd van het jaar is op zich al een prestatie van formaat. Matthijs de Koning, Scherpenzeler en voormalig beroepswielrenner, heeft dit in het verleden ook eens gepresteerd. Oud Scherpenzeel blikt terug op de carrière van deze Scherpenzeelse ex-topsporter. Matthijs de Koning wordt op 18 maart 1949 geboren op de Willaerlaan in Scherpenzeel. Hij is de jongste uit een gezin van vier kinderen. Matthijs heeft één broer en twee zusters. Zijn vader werkt bij bandweverij “De Driekleur”. Als Matthijs zes jaar is, verhuist het gezin naar de Plataanlaan, waar Matthijs zeventien jaar woont. Op jonge leeftijd gaat Matthijs, die in die tijd Matti wordt genoemd, voetballen bij voetbalvereniging Scherpenzeel. Met leeftijdsgenoten worden na schooltijd en in de vakanties wielerwedstrijdjes gehouden. Met hen gaat Matthijs ook bij de Tour de Junior in Achterveld kijken. Geïnspireerd door de prestaties van andere Scherpenzelers bij dit wielerevenement doet hij in 1964 voor de eerste keer op een gewone fiets mee aan deze wielerwedstrijd. Om het volgende jaar op een echte racefiets te kunnen meedoen, gaat Matthijs een paar uur in de week als kegelopzetter in Hotel Café “De Zwaan” aan het werk. Voor 95 gulden koopt hij zijn eerste tweedehands racefiets. Hiermee wint hij in 1965 de Tour de Junior in de leeftijdscategorie van 16-jarigen. Zijn ouders gaan ervan uit dat hiermee een einde is gekomen aan de wielerloopbaan van Matthijs, omdat hij het volgende jaar vanwege zijn leeftijd niet meer in de Tour de Junior mag starten.
