  • Dopage 10 Février 2011
    REVUE DE PRESSE du 10 février 2011 QUAND BASSONS REPOND A LANDIS Velochrono - 3 févr. 2011 On a surtout relayé les accusations prononcées par Floyd Landis, dans un entretien accordé au Sunday Times, à l’encontre d’Oscar Pereiro et de Michael Boogerd. Mais l’Américain a aussi évoqué le cas de Christophe Bassons lors de cette entrevue. L’ancien coureur de Festina avait abandonné le Tour de France 1999 face à la pression d’un peloton qui l’avait isolé pour ses positions anti-dopage. Ancien parangon de la propreté, le Mazamétain était inconnu de Floyd Landis, qui a rejoint l’US Postal en 2001, année au cours de laquelle le Français a pris sa retraite sportive. Refuser de prendre des produits a été facile pour moi.Après que son intervieweur, Paul Kimmage – ancien cycliste irlandais ayant participé au Tour de France, reconverti dans le journalisme -, lui ait présenté le personnage, l’Américain se dit ainsi « impressionné ». « Je ne sais pas combien de gars ont eu la force de caractère pour ne pas se doper, mais ils ne devaient pas être nombreux », ajoutait-t-il. Sollicité par Cyclingnews pour réagir à ces déclarations, Christophe Bassons confie qu’il ne « pense pas avoir été courageux ». Il développe : « Pour moi, la question du courage intervient quand l’on a une crainte à surmonter, et je n’ai jamais eu peur. J’ai eu de la chance. J’ai eu une éducation saine, beaucoup d’amour dans ma vie, et pas de vide qui m’ait donné envie de me doper. Refuser de prendre des produits a été facile pour moi.

Despite the harsh conditions, it has been nice to see that our members are finding ways to get in a workout. There have been a few days of reprieve and it is good to see our athletes enjoying these days. Your TGC leadership is hard at work preparing for the 2014 season. Chris Hicks and Gary Garza are moving swiftly on finalizing our club kit order. Our new look and design was popular, as we have seen a record amount of orders. We look forward to having these distributed in mid-March. Our Youth Race Director, Jim Hagy is busy orchestrating with the City, sponsors, traffic engineers, and community to make the Maritime de Luna Duathlon a premiere youth multisport event in NW Florida. Our Vice President, Alex Bell has been pounding away at our new TGC Bylaws and the necessary process to convert TGC to a 501c3 Tax Exempt status. Tom Henderson, Mere Mortals Chairman is already getting the permits for use of Casino Beach for each Mere Mortals session. Past Prez, Evan Malone, and TGC member Chris Rawson are coordinating the Xterra Wetsuit fitting for our athlete's in March. And yes, your current President, Mindi Straw, has already booked our 2014 End of Season Party!

Seven mountain runners participated in this study. They competed in vertical (VR), 10-25 km, 25-45 km and >45 km races. The HR response was measured during the races to calculate the exercise intensity and PL according to the HR at which both the ventilatory (VT) and respiratory compensation threshold (RCT) occurred. The exercise intensity below VT and between VT and RCT increased with mountain running race distance. Likewise, the percentage of racing time spent above RCT decreased when race duration increased. However, the time spent above RCT was similar between races (~50 min). The PL was significantly higher (p<.05) during the longest races (145.0±18.4, 288.8±72.5, 467.3±109.9 and 820.8±147.0 AU in VR, 10-25 km, 25-45 km and >45 km, respectively). The ratio of PL to accumulative altitude gain was similar in all races (~0.16 AU·m-1).

  • Runners in Their Forties Dominate Ultra-Marathons from 50 to 3,100 Miles
    CLINICAL SCIENCE Runners in their forties dominate ultra-marathons from 50 to 3,100 miles Matthias Alexander Zingg,I Christoph Alexander Ru¨ st,I Thomas Rosemann,I Romuald Lepers,II Beat KnechtleIII I University of Zurich, Institute of General Practice and for Health Services Research, Zurich, Switzerland. II University of Burgundy, Faculty of Sport Sciences, INSERM U1093, Dijon, France. III Gesundheitszentrum St. Gallen, St. Gallen, Switzerland. OBJECTIVES: This study investigated performance trends and the age of peak running speed in ultra-marathons from 50 to 3,100 miles. METHODS: The running speed and age of the fastest competitors in 50-, 100-, 200-, 1,000- and 3,100-mile events held worldwide from 1971 to 2012 were analyzed using single- and multi-level regression analyses. RESULTS: The number of events and competitors increased exponentially in 50- and 100-mile events. For the annual fastest runners, women improved in 50-mile events, but not men. In 100-mile events, both women and men improved their performance. In 1,000-mile events, men became slower. For the annual top ten runners, women improved in 50- and 100-mile events, whereas the performance of men remained unchanged in 50- and 3,100-mile events but improved in 100-mile events. The age of the annual fastest runners was approximately 35 years for both women and men in 50-mile events and approximately 35 years for women in 100-mile events. For men, the age of the annual fastest runners in 100-mile events was higher at 38 years. For the annual fastest runners of 1,000-mile events, the women were approximately 43 years of age, whereas for men, the age increased to 48 years of age.

  • Alps Favor US, Says Movistar's Quintana
    SPORTS SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2015 Quintana bidding to eclipse ‘Lucho’ Herrera SAINT-JEAN-DE-MAURIENNE: Nairo Quintana will be aiming to cement the special relationship between Colombia and Alp d’Huez when tackling the mystical Tour de France climb today. The 25- year-old 2014 Giro d’Italia champion may be the most famous Colombian cyclist and Alp d’Huez the most iconic mountain in the sport, but it was Luis ‘Lucho’ Herrera who paved the way for riders in the Andean country 31 years ago. It was Monday, July 17 in 1984 on the 151km 17th stage of the Tour de France from Grenoble to Alpe d’Huez when the 23- year-old Colombian climber announced his talent to the world. The day started badly for Herrera, who was ini- tially distanced by the peloton as French pair Laurent Fignon and Bernard Hinault, the two favorites, battled for supremacy. But Herrera man- aged to cling on and by the foot of Alpe d’Huez he was alongside Fignon. Herrera attacked and reeled in Hinault before going on to win the stage at the Alpine colossus’ summit, joining the likes of cycling legends Fausto Coppi and Joop Zoetemelk as win- ners on Alpe d’Huez. Herrera, officially still an ama- teur, went on to finish the race 27th overall as Fignon won his second Tour-a year later Hinault would take revenge but France has not had a Tour winner since. The Colombian star would enjoy many more great days in cycling, winning the 1987 Vuelta a Espana and that same year earning his best finish in the Tour-fifth.
