Samuel Sánchez, Gold Medalist at the Beijing Olympics, narrowly missed the podium in this year’s Tour de France. Rabobank The orange-garbed team brings a 100% Dutch line-up to Québec and Montréal, led by Robert Gesink, a 24-year-old full of promise who finished 6th overall in the 2010 Tour de France, and solid lieutenants like Joost PosthumaPosthuma and Bram Tankink.

  • 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.

  • 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.
