  • The Long Ride How Did Lance Armstrong Manage the Greatest Comeback in Sports History? by Michael Specter
    The Long Ride How did Lance Armstrong manage the greatest comeback in sports history? by Michael Specter The New Yorker July 15, 2002 A couple of weeks ago, on a sweltering Saturday afternoon, I found myself in the passen- ger seat of a small Volkswagen, careering so rapidly around the hairpin turns of the French Alps that I could smell the tires burning. Johan Bruyneel, the suave, unflappable director of the United States Postal Service Pro Cycling Team, was behind the wheel. Driving at ninety kilometres an hour occupied half his attention. The rest was devoted to fiddling with a small television mounted in the dashboard, examining a set of complicated topographical maps, and talking into one of two radio transmitters in the car. The first connected Bruyneel to the team’s support vehicle, laden with extra bicycles, water bottles, power bars, and other tools and equipment. The second fed into the earpieces of the eight U.S. Postal Service cyclists who were racing along the switchbacks ahead of us. The entire team could hear every word that Bruyneel said, but most of the time he was talking to just one man: Lance Armstrong. We had been on the road for about three hours and Armstrong was a kilometre in front of us, pedalling so fast that it was hard to keep up. It was the sixth day of the Dauphiné Libéré, a weeklong race that is run in daily stages. Armstrong doesn’t enter races like the Dauphiné to win (though often enough he does); he enters to test his legs in preparation for a greater goal--the Tour de France.

  • Dossier Grimpées – France 2 / 119 Guy Bodoin
    DOSSIER GRIMPEES – FRANCE « 1.000 ascensions à vélo en France » Guy Bodoin 4 janvier 2009 Dossier grimpées – France 2 / 119 Guy Bodoin PREAMBULE Cher lecteur, Le but du présent document est de faire connaître une méthode d'évaluation de la difficulté d'une montée fran- chie à vélo et les résultats qui en découlent. Cette méthode, appelée « cotation au carré », est expérimentée de- puis 1984. Elle vise plusieurs objectifs : • une grande simplicité de compréhension et d'utilisation pour tous les publics, • des résultats plausibles et conformes aux sensations réelles des cyclistes confirmés (du cyclotouriste aguerri aux randonnées montagneuses jusqu'au coureur professionnel). Cette méthode ne s'adresse vo- lontairement pas au cycliste débutant pour qui les sensations ne sont pas encore bien stabilisées, • permettre l'établissement d'un classement entre les plus dures côtes. Ce classement devra veiller à res- pecter les spécificités suivantes : − classement complet et fermé (ni oubli - si possible - ni faveur particulière pour y faire entrer un col qui n'aurait pas les moyens d'y figurer), − classement précis (pas d'à peu près), − classement fiable (correspondant compatible avec l'idée que l'on peut s'en faire à l'avance, sous peine de passer pour farfelu). − classement équitable (toutes les montées y figurant doivent avoir été évaluées par des moyens de fiabilité et précision identiques, sous peine de défavoriser certaines par rapport à d'autres). Ce « dossier grimpées – France » est séparé en trois parties : • une présentation et une évaluation (avantages, inconvénients, limites) de la cotation au carré, • un classement des plus dures grimpées cyclistes françaises, • des commentaires sur les enseignements liés à ce classement.
