So when it comes to the sport of professional cycling, why aren't women receiving half the road? Directed by pro cyclist Kathryn Bertine, HALF THE ROAD: The Passion, Pitfalls & Power of Women's Professional Cycling explores the world of women's professional cycling, focusing on both the love of sport and the pressing issues of inequality that modern-day female athletes face in male dominated sports. With footage from some of the world's best races to interviews with Olympians, World Champions, rookies, coaches, officials, doctors and family members, HALF THE ROAD offers a unique insight to the drive, dedication, and passion it takes for a female cyclist to thrive. Included as well are notable women who have achieved inroads in other endurance sports, such as Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to official register (as "K.V. Switzer") and run the all-male Boston Marathon in 1967; the iconic photo of her being attacked by a race official was listed by Time-Life as among its "100 Photographs that Changed the World." Director’s Bio: Kathryn Bertine is a professional cyclist, writer and filmmaker.

Juli 2017 www.oesterreich-rundfahrt.at Thomas Rohreggers Tour-Analyse Thomas Rohregger, ORF-Radexperte und Rundfahrtssieger von 2008, analysiert das Starterfeld der 69. Österreich Rundfahrt. Wer sind seine Favoriten? Und wie steht es um die Chancen der Österreicher? Fakt ist, die Tour 2017 mit zehn Giro d’Italia-, zwei Tour de France-, zwei Vuelta- sowie sechs Ö-Tour-Etappensiegern, zudem zwei Weltmeistern und einem Olympiasieger, ist eine der bestbe - setzten in der Neuzeit des Radsports: ***** Sterne: Rein Taramäe, Katusha Alpecin Wer Gesamtelfter bei der Tour de France (2011) wurde, Etappen beim Giro d’Italia und der Vuelta gewann, zudem vier Rundfahrtssiege verbuchen konnte, zählt zu den Top-Favoriten. Für mich war aber zuletzt beeindruckend, wie der Este auf der schweren Tour de Suisse- Etappe auf den Tiefenbachferner die Konkurrenz zertrümmert und so den Gesamtsieg für seinen Teamkollegen Simon Spilak geebnet hat. Und auf dem Gletscher wurde er auch noch Tagessiebenter! Das war eine unglaubliche Leistung. ***** Sterne: Ilnur Zakarin, Katusha Alpecin Der Fünfte des heurigen Giro d’Italia hatte nach der dreiwöchigen Italienrundfahrt eine Pause. Er soll sich für die Vuelta vorbereiten und ist für mich die große Unbekannte. Laut Papierform ist er der absolute Top-Star und hat auch bei Grand Tours das Zeug für ein Po - dium. Ich glaube, Ilnur wird sich während der Österreich Rundfahrt entscheiden, ob er Vollgas gibt. ***** Sterne: Miguel Ángel López, Astana Pro Team Er ist eines der größten Talente im Radsport. Im Vorjahr hat er mit 22 Jahren die Tour de Suisse gewonnen. Leider ist er bei der dies - jährigen Schweiz-Rundfahrt schwer gestürzt und hat sich einen Finger gebrochen.
